[citation needed] Cyrillic remained in occasional use until the 1920s, mostly in Russian-ruled Bessarabia.

The Romanian Cyrillic alphabet had many rules on the writing of its letters that make it challenging to read at first: 1.

Є, Ѻ, Оу, Ꙗ are the initial variants of Е, О, Ꙋ, Ѧ respectively.

g (elsewhere) c (elsewhere) ci (elsewhere) gi (elsewhere) Starting with the 1830s and ending with the official adoption of the Latin alphabet, there were no regulations for writing Romanian, and various alphabets using Cyrillic and Latin letters, besides the mid-transitional version in the table above, were used, sometimes two or more of them in a single book.

Tatăl nostru, carele ești în ceriuri, sfințeascăse numele tău: Vie împărăția ta: Fie voia ta, pre cumi în ceriu, și pre pământi.

Pâinea noastră, cea de toate zilele, dăneo noua astăzi.

Și nu ne duce pe noi în ispită.
