Summary

Description
English: Alternate variants of lowercase Cyrillic letters: Б/б, Д/д, Г/г, И/и, П/п, Т/т, Ш/ш.

Three colored double columns show the locally preferred upright and italic/cursive forms for three regions:

default standard Russian (Eastern) forms
alternate Bulgarian (Western) upright forms
alternate Serbian/Macedonian/Bosnian/Montenegrin (Southern) italic forms

In traditional Bulgarian typesetting, the upright shapes of characters д (d), г (g), и (i), п (p), т (t) and ш (sh) resemble their cursive forms, i.e. they look similar to Roman lowercase letters g, ƨ (mirrored s), n and m, respectively, instead of like small capital letters as in Russian.

This similarly applies to the character б (b) in Serbian, Macedonian, Bosnian and Montenegrin, which has the Russian form in Bulgarian typography.
Deutsch: Aufrechte und kursive Alternativformen kyrillischer Kleinbuchstaben: Б/б, Д/д, Г/г, И/и, П/п, Т/т, Ш/ш.

Drei farbige Doppelspalten zeigen die lokal bevorzugten aufrechten und kursiven Formen für drei Kulturregionen:

russische (östliche) und am weitesten verbreitet Formen
alternative bulgarische (westliche) aufrechte Formen
alternative serbisch-mazedonische (südliche) kursive Formen

In traditionaler bulgarischer Typografie ähneln die aufrechten Glyphen der Buchstaben д (d), г (g), и (i), п (p), т (t) und ш (sh) ihren kursiven Formen, d.h. sie sehen aus wie die römischen Kleinbuchstaben g, ƨ (gespiegeltes s), n und m, und nicht wie die Kapitälchen im Russischen.

Dies gilt in ähnlicher Weise für das serbisch-mazedonische б (b), welches die in bulgarischer Typografie die russische Form beibehält.
