The Russian Manual Alphabet.
The table below shows the Russian Manual Alphabet used
for fingerspelling in Russian Sign Language. In general, fingerspelling
is used for the following types of words:
-
proper nouns (names, cities, titles, brand names, etc)
-
foreign borrowings.
-
scientific terms.
-
short conjunctions, prepositions, interjections, modal particles,
etc., e.g. v-in, nu-well,
-
da-yes, by-would.
-
words lacking a sign representation.
The chart below gives the Cyrillic letter, the name of the
letter in Russian, and an English word illustrating an approximate pronunciation
of the letter.
