Adyghe has been written in Cyrillic in many community and official contexts.

Danef Latin is a separate, learner-oriented inventory for reading practice on the web.

Published tables list larger Cyrillic inventories than Danef's forty-five Latin letters.

Counts follow published descriptions of Circassian orthographies; treat them as orientation, not as a scorecard between communities.

Cyrillic often writes one Adyghe sound with two or three letters.

Compare Chamguy and Kabardian samples by ear and short Danef lines, not by copying long Cyrillic text.

Rough estimates place hundreds of millions of people using Cyrillic worldwide, with much of that use concentrated in Russia and nearby states.

Latin letters are used by billions of people globally across many languages; Danef Latin is one Latin-based path for Adyghe, not a tie to any single nation.

Most Adyghe live outside Russia where Latin dominates schooling or daily life.

Treat diaspora percentages as rough published estimates, not census precision.

Much Adyghe literature is Cyrillic, yet roughly four fifths of Adyghe worldwide lack comfortable Cyrillic reading access.

Software can convert Cyrillic scans or files into Latin for readers who learn Danef first.

Books can be scanned once and distributed as ebooks on phones and tablets, which lowers the need to reprint every title in a second physical edition.

In one village, decades of Cyrillic classes left few fluent Adyghe readers or writers.

That classroom story is one local experience, not a universal survey.

Latin can be easier on phones and search boxes that lack Cyrillic keys.

Danef keeps diacritics inside the forty-five letters so you do not learn a second parallel alphabet.

Inventory and diaspora figures paraphrase approved comparison-deck slides and their cited references.

Community classroom notes (slide 22) are presented as one village's experience, not as statistics for every Adyghe community.

Approved deck fragments 005–007, 017, 021–022, and 027–029 inform this chapter.
