Answer 2

The Cyrillic alphabet (pronounced /sɪˈrɪlɪk/, also called azbuka, from the old name of the first two letters) is an alphabet used for several East and South Slavic languages—Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Rusyn, Serbian, and Ukrainian—and many other languages of the former Soviet Union, Asia and Eastern Europe. It has also been used for other languages in the past. Not all letters in the Cyrillic alphabet are used in every language with which it is written.

With the accession of Bulgaria to the European Union on January 1, 2007, Cyrillic also became the third official alphabet of the EU.

Answer 3

Try a Google search for "Cyrillic phonetic." Or, most good dictionaries have the Cyrillic alphabet and sounds listed under "alphabet". Good luck!

Answer 4

This appears to be a good pronunciation guide, complete with clickable lines that give you a sound file of the pronunciation:
