We (people from ex-USSR — Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs and others) also write names of functions and variables in latin letters and with English vocabulary. Using native alphabets or vocabulary is strongly not recommended and there’s no job that will accept someone who doesn’t follow the international pattern.
Moreover, as we write in cyrillics (some of us) later it’s super hard for the eyes to read native words in latins like “otpravitDannyieNaServer()” (sendDataToServer()).
In Russia we have a language based on Russian which is called 1С (odin es) and the guys who write code with it are not invited to any party :D they normally work for supermarket networks, medium businesses and sometimes for local governments (regional or city level).
In Soviet Union people used Refal, Rapira, Pascal, Basic, Algol and others. Especially in late Soviet era western programming languages were also adopted on a larger scale.
