2014 Sochi Olympics: Cyrillic spellings for all nations participating
By Josh Sanchez
The opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics took place on Friday, with the Parade of Nations introducing all of the countries that will be participating in the Sochi Games. People may have been confused about why there seemed to be no order to the announcement of each country, but that is because they were introduced based on the Cyrillic spelling of their country’s name.
What is the Cyrillic spelling for your home country?
