West Slavic languages

West Slavic languages are a group of closely related languages spoken primarily in Central Europe, including Polish, Czech, and Slovak. They evolved from a common ancestral language and share similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. These languages developed in regions influenced by historical interactions, such as trade and conquest, shaping their distinct features. They are part of the larger Slavic language family but are geographically and linguistically distinct from East and South Slavic groups. Overall, West Slavic languages maintain mutual intelligibility to some extent, reflecting their shared heritage.
