cyrillic alphabet and slavic peoples?
My Russian Culture teacher wants us to do a research about the creation of the cyrillic alphabet and the organization of the slavic peoples.
I never really stopped to think how those two topics are connected.
Can anyone recommend me some website or something? Cause I'd like to read about it and it's been hard to find something decent with enough information.
Also, how many Early cyrillic alphabets existed before the one used nowadays? I have an article here that shows an old alphabet in which the letters were really complex small drawings! I think it's the Glagolitic alphabet... Now Wikipedia shows a different "Early cyrillic alphabet". There might have been others, right?

Well, alphabets evolve over time. It's like saying to a kid 'how many times have you changed height in your life?'

The Glagolitic alphabet is not an early form of a Cyrillic alphabet. The one in the Wikipedia article is the correct one.
There are multiple Cyrillic alphabets now, and this separation is the only possible link I can think of between the alphabet and "the organization of Slavic peoples" -- you could probably talk about how these alphabets originated, it looks like the wikipedia has that information and further references.
