    Same problem you will see in Romanian too. This language used in the past a Cyrillic alphabet too. Letters like ă, î, â, ș, ț are equivalent of letters э, ы, ш, ц. Even if the language is of Latin origin, some sounds need to be written with diacritics, which most of Romanians, even here on TA don't use, and sometimes can create some confusion for a person who don't understand Romanian. Vor exemple expresion like: "Vino puțin" which mean: "come here for a second", most of the time will be written like: "Vino putin", without letter ț, which some who don't understand Romanian, will translate like: "come Putin".))

    there is the sound "ț" in italian too but is written "zz"..letter "ș" existas in turkish as well and it's read the same way as in romanian; sound "î" there is in all turkic languages as well but is ritten "ı" but i believe sound "ă" is excusevly romanian as э is a totally different sound.

    The problem is that most of the Romanians don't use them at all, for exemple I all the time use them. Letter "ă" is the same as "э", but in the past this sound was written with letter "ъ". Moldavian/Wallachian cyrillic alphabet was far more diverse, some letters was inexistent in other cyrillic alphabets.

    sound э is not identical to ă but it's the closest it can get using cyrillic alphabet. yes, romanians do not use them as it's difficult to switch all the time from english to romanian keyboard. now..all languages that use cyrillic alphabet have their own distinctive letters added as the sounds differ from a languages to another...for example turkic languages that use cyrillic alphabet have a lot of aditional letters to cover all sounds.
