Russian manual alphabet
The Russian Manual Alphabet (RMA) is used for fingerspelling in Russian Sign Language.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Like many other manual alphabets, the Russian Manual Alphabet bears similarities to the French Manual Alphabet. However, it was adapted to account for the letters of the Cyrillic alphabet found in the Russian written language. It is a one-handed alphabet.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> RMA includes 33 hand gestures, each of which corresponds to one letter in the Russian alphabet. There are no signs denoting punctuation or capitalization.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite journal</ref>
In 2015, researchers at the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia developed a software–hardware system that converted RMA gestures into textual form.<ref name=":0" />
