	Old Slavonic - LoveToKnow 1911
		SLAVONIC In the article Slavs (under Languages) will be found a fairly complete account of Old Slavonic in its first form, as it is taken as representing, save for a few peculiarities noticed in their place, the Proto-Slavonic.
		After the language had been fixed by the original translations of the New Testament and other Church books it was no more consciously adapted to the dialects of the various peoples, but was used equally among the Croats (whose books were accommodated to the Roman use and written in Glagolitic), Serbs and Russians.
		But the Church language as insensibly modified continued to be the literary language of Croatia until the 26th century, of Russia until 1700, and of Bulgaria, Servia and Rumania until the early part of the 10th century, and is still the liturgical language of Dalmatia, the Balkans, Russia and the Ruthenian Uniates.

		The language of the documents is a living, spoken language and it is only too natural that it should be called by its national name.

		About the language of the Old Russian literature, the well known Russian scholar Shakhmatov wrote: "The origin of the literary Russian language is the Church Slavonic language (Old Bulgarian in origin) transferred to Russian soil, which in the course of ages came closer to the living people’s language and gradually lost its alien aspect".

	Pravapis.org - Belarusian language - Belarusian Latin Script (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Due to the domination of the Greek Orthodox church in Belarus in early Middle ages, the writing standards remained strongly influenced by the sacred Old Church Slavonic language -- the language of the Bible and liturgy in the Slavonic Greek Orthodox tradition.
		Reformation and the Western education seem to had been among the factors which led to quite considerable "cleansing" of the official Belarusian written language from the Old Church Slavonic features by the end of the 16th century.
		However, in the middle and second half of the 19th century, when the "founding fathers" of the modern Belarusian literary language and literature were publishing their works, the Lacinka evolved closer to what it is now: it acquired the non-syllabic "u"-character, i.e the distinct Belarusian "u nieskladovaje" ("u" with the upside down "^").
