Orthography of Pavlovskyi

Orthography of Pavlovskyi (Ukrainian: Право́пис Павло́вського, romanized: Pravopys Pavlovskoho) is the Ukrainian orthography used by Oleksii Pavlovskyi in the Grammar of the Little Russian Supradialect (Russian: Грамматикѣ малороссійскаго нарѣчія) (1818).

Phonetic orthography based on the standard Russian pre-revolutionary orthography, which in fact was reduced to the following rules:[1]

  • vowel /i/ from the ancient о, е, ѣ is transmitted by the letter і; its iotation is not indicated in the letter;
  • /ɪ/, which comes from и and ы - the letter ы (the letter и is not used);
  • The letter ѣ is not used etymologically, but to denote /jɛ/, /'ɛ/;
  • /jɔ/, /'ɔ/ are transmitted by the digraph iô;
  • sound /ɡ/ (modern ґ) — a digraph of кг;
  • the endings of the verbs -ться, -шся are transmitted according to the pronunciation as -цьця, -сся;
  • The letter ъ is preserved — at the end of words and as a punctuation mark.
  • The letter ѳ is saved to record some words of Greek origin. It is explained that it should be read as a letter combination /xʋt/.
