Slavonic languages
Slavonic languages, also known as Slavic languages, are a group within the Indo-European language family spoken primarily in Eastern Europe and parts of Central and Southeast Europe. They include languages such as Russian, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Croatian. These languages share common historical roots, similar grammatical structures, and many vocabulary features, making them related yet distinct. They evolved from Old Church Slavonic, the liturgical language used by early Slavs. Today, Slavonic languages are diverse, with variations in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, but they collectively form an important cultural and linguistic group in the region.
