Quick Facts Language(s), Classification ...

To memorize the codes, practitioners use mnemonics known as напевы (loosely translated "melodies" or "chants"). The "melody" corresponding to a character is a sung phrase: syllables containing the vowels а, о, and ы correspond to dashes and are sung long, while syllables containing other vowels, as well the syllable ай, correspond to dots and are sung short. The specific "melodies" employed differ among various schools.[citation needed]

The correspondences between Cyrillic and Latin letters were codified in MTK-2, KOI-7, and KOI-8.[citation needed]
