I, OTOH, would love to use the Cyrillic alphabet for my next conlang (if
I ever get around to it), if only to somewhat mitigate the poverty of
vowels in the Roman/Latin alphabet. Tatari Faran was OK with
Romanization because of its simple phonetic inventory, but I had lots of
trouble fitting Ebisedian's vowel system because it had 9 vowels plus
length & nasalization. Pity I didn't know the Cyrillic alphabet back
then.
