	Slavonic languages
		In the spoken Slavic dialects (as opposed to the sharply differentiated literary languages) the linguistic frontiers are not always apparent.
		The separate development of South Slavic was caused by a break in the links between the Balkan and the West Slavic groups that resulted from the settling of the Magyars in Hungary during the 10th century and from the Germanization of the Slavic regions of Bavaria and Austria.
		The comparatively early rise of the West Slavic (and the westernmost South Slavic) languages as separate literary vehicles was related to a variety of religious and political factors that resulted in the decline of the western variants of the Church Slavonic language.

	Slavic Languages
		Slavic languages is a subfamily of the Indo-European family of languages.
		Grammatically the Slavic languages, with the exception of Bulgarian and Macedonian, have a highly developed inflection of the noun, with up to seven cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative, instrumental, and vocative).
		Members of the Slavic subfamily are more conservative and thus closer to Proto-Indo-European than languages in the Germanic and Romance groups, as is witnessed by their preservation of seven of the eight cases for the noun that Proto-Indo-European possessed and by their continuation of aspects for the verb.

		The two brothers' second mission (860) by the Byzantine Emperor Michael III and the Patriarch of Constantinople Photius (a professor of Cyril's at the University and his guiding light in earlier years) was a missionary expedition to the Khazar Khagan in order to prevent the expansion of Judaism there.
		In 862 they were invited by prince Rastislav to propagate Christianity in the Slavic language in Great Moravia, which they did until their deaths, Cyril's in 869 (in Rome) and Methodius' in 885 (in Great Moravia).
		The language derived from Old Church Slavonic, known as Church Slavonic, is still used in liturgy by several Eastern Orthodox churches.

	Evaluation of programmes in Slavic Languages and East and Central European Studies at four Swedish universities
		This report presents the results of the evaluation of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Slavic Languages and East and Central European Studies at Swedish universities conducted by the National Agency for Higher Education during 2002.
		An additional proposal is the creation of a national subject council for Slavic studies and a guarantee of funding for languages that cannot meet their own costs under the current funding system.
		In order to remedy this situation, the panel of assessors therefore recommends the Slavic departments to stipulate a quantity of text that is realistic in relationship to the extent of the courses.

		Likewise, South Slavic retains the nasal ę in the accusative plural of ja-stem nouns, whereas in East and West Slavic the nasality is lost.
		It is often assumed that the language is the same as that which was spoken in the centuries preceding the work of Cyril and Methodius; but by the time of the extant manuscripts were written, the actual spoken language was beginning to diverge from the written language.
		This is certainly an oversimplification, since the language spoken by Cyril and Methodius must have been in use for quite some time prior to their work, and there are later texts that show definite affinity with the OCS discussed in grammars.
