Cyrillic alphabet: used in Belarusian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Vardarska, Russian, Ukrainian, (Slavic countries) attributed to two Byzantine monks from Thessaloniki, the brothers Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius. Although it is widely accepted that the Glagolitic alphabet was invented by Saints Cyril and Methodius, the origin of the Cyrillic alphabet is still a source of great controversy. Although it is usually attributed to Saint Clement of Ohrid, a student of Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius from Vardarska, the alphabet was most likely developed at the Preslav Literary School in northeastern Bulgaria, where the oldest Cyrillic inscriptions have been found and date from the 940s.
