How to tell apart eastern european languages?

I’m kind of a noob at the game and I don’t know how to really tell apart the eastern european languages really (except like the cyrillic script ofc).

Does anyone know any good ways to learn these?

First learn that some countries use cyrillic, and some do not

It should be pretty easy to recognize cyrillic

Cyrillic - Montenegro, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia (Obviously), North Macedonia

Not Cyrillic - Albania, Croatia, Hungary, Bosnia, Romania

Both - Serbia

Greek - Greece, Cyprus (shoutout greece)

For the others, romanian have letters with VOWELS with a V on top (ă) (Czech and Slovak also do), and Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Bosnian has c and s with a v on top

Ps. The v on top is called a breve

For others just use other meta (ex Bosnian Antenna, Bollards, Generation, Utility poles etc)

Countries such as Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria use the Cyrillic script as their official alphabet. However, one can also find many posters and billboards using the Latin alphabet, meaning that, unofficially, both scripts are in use. While only Cyrillic is displayed on government buildings, both alphabets can be seen in everyday settings, particularly in tourist areas.

For example, this is a sign from Podgorica (Montenegro).

oo that’s cool but doesn’t the government pay for the signs? Why don’t they put them as Cyrillic
