Ukrainian alphabet

In its written form the Ukrainian language uses the Cyrillic script and has an alphabet comprising 33 letters:

Аа	Бб	Вв	Гг	Ґґ	Дд	Ее	Єє	Жж	Зз	Ии
Іі	Її	Йй	Кк	Лл	Мм	Нн	Оо	Пп	Рр	Сс
Тт	Уу	Фф	Хх	Цц	Чч	Шш	Щщ	Ьь	Юю	Яя

Three of the letters, Ґ, Є and Ї, are unique to Ukrainian. In 1933 the letter Ґ was officially excluded from the alphabet, as part of a Soviet policy of aligning Ukrainian more closely with Russian. In 1990, however, it was reintroduced into current standard Ukrainian.
