Russian language

Russian is a Slavic language with a complex and rich history, using the Cyrillic alphabet. It features a highly inflected grammar system, meaning words change form to express case, number, and gender. Russian vocabulary shares roots with other Slavic languages and has significant influences from Latin, Greek, and French. It is the most widely spoken language in Eurasia, serving as the official language of Russia and several neighboring countries. Russian combines expressive literary traditions with modern usage, making it both a key cultural and geopolitical language. Its pronunciation includes distinct consonant clusters and vowel variations, reflecting its nuanced phonetic structure.
