	Slavonic languages
		The myriad differences between the dialects and languages in phonetics, grammar, and above all vocabulary may cause misunderstandings even in the simplest of conversations; and the difficulties are greater in the language of journalism, technical usage, and belles lettres, even in the case of closely connected languages.
		The Slovak literary language was formed on the basis of a Central Slovak dialect in the middle of the 19th century.
		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.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Slavonic Language and Liturgy
		Although the Latin holds the chief place among the liturgical languages in which the Mass is celebrated and the praise of God recited in the Divine Offices, yet the Slavonic language comes next to it among the languages widely used throughout the world in the liturgy of the Church.
		Whilst the Greek language is the norm and the original of the Byzantine or Greek Rite, its actual use as a church language is limited to a comparatively small number, reckoning by population.
		From that time onward the Slavonic tongue was firmly fixed as a liturgical language of the Church, and was used wherever the Slavic tribes were converted to Christianity under the influence of monks and missionaries of the Greek Rite.

		This Old Church Slavonic was imported to Kiev and Novgorod, as the language of the church, at the end of the tenth century.
		It was but natural that in the Middle Ages the language of the Church should become the language of theology, of philosophy, of science, and of literature (almost exclusively religious), briefly a "literary language" in the broad sense of the word.
		The strength of Church Slavonic as the literary language of Russia was rooted in its being the language of the Orthodox Church, and the Orthodox Church penetrated the whole spiritual and intellectual life of medieval and Muscovite Russia.

		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.
		Some Slavic languages (notably, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, and Polish) are written in differing versions of the Roman alphabet because their speakers are predominantly Roman Catholic.

		Bulgarian is the official language of the Republic of Bulgaria and is spoken as their native language by about 8.5 million people within the boundaries of Bulgaria.
		The issue of the Macedonian language, in official use as separate literary language in the Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia since 1944 (about 1.5 million speakers), is heavily charged with political emotions on the part of Bulgaria, Greece, and the former Yugoslavia, and has to be approached carefully.
		Middle Bulgarian was a transitional stage during which the language underwent crucial changes leading to its emergence as a 'Balkan' language with analytic characteristics; owing to the strong tradition of the liturgical literature, however the actual changes found in the vernaculars were hardly reflected in the manuscripts.

	Our Slavic Language
		The invention of the Slavic letters and introduction of the Slavonic language into worship could be considered a genial work, a real miracle, since it surpassed all the literary attempts made in the Middle Ages.
		The Old-Slavonic language, as it was devised by the Apostles of the Slavs, underwent some changes and morphological modifications during the course of centuries.
		Until the tenth century the dialectical differences of Slavonic languages were negligible and the Old-Slavonic language was used as a literary language by all the Slavs.

		Professor Knowles is Professor of Language and Head of the Department of Modern Languages at Aston University, Birmingham, and his interests lie particularly in the application of computers to translation and lexicography and in the family of Slavonic languages.

		Old Church Slavonic was, effectively, created as a 'superstructure' on the South Slavonic speech used in that area at that time, but it has played a central role, cultural as well as religious, in Eastern and South-Eastem Europe since those days.

	Pravapis.org - Belarusian language - Lecture: Grammatical Changes in Modern Literary Belarusian
		My idea was to start the book with a brief sketch of Old Church Slavonic as an essential hinge or link in the comparative study of one, or more, other Slavonic languages after the study of the student's first Slavonic language, even if it that is his mother tongue.
		The crucial part of each section or chapter dealing with a particular language was the part dealing with its historical development from Common Slav followed by an explained list of its characteristic phonetic and morphological features.
		On the other hand, I see no harm in uniformity between languages in such matters as punctuation, the use of capital letters, transcription of foreign names, etc. And differences artificially created or specially sought out from obscure dialects and sanctioned and enthroned in official grammars are, to my mind, to be deprecated.

		The imposition of Church Slavonic and Latin on Slavs was often at the expense of the vernacular.
		Most languages of the former Soviet Union, Russia and neighbouring countries (for example, Mongolian) are significantly influenced by Russian, especially in vocabulary.
		In the west, the Romanian and Hungarian languages witness the influence of the neighboring Slavic nations, especially in the vocabulary pertaining to crafts and trade; the major cultural innovations at times when few long-range cultural contacts took place.

	Help Me Learn Church Slavonic
		My goals in learning Church Slavonic are to be able to read and pray with understanding texts written in Church Slavonic, to be able to serve and sing competently on the kliros, and to be able to translate Church Slavonic texts into English.
		Although Church Slavonic is sometimes called "Old Church Slavonic," "Old Slavonic," or "Old Church Slavic," it has been revised several times throughout its history, most recently in the 18th century under the Empress Elizabeth.
		The term "Old Church Slavonic" properly belongs to the form of the language that was used in the 9th-12th centuries and not to the modern form of Church Slavonic that is currently used in the Russian Orthodox Church.

		Old Church Slavonic is the name given to the language of the oldest Slavic manuscripts, which date from the tenth or eleventh century.
		That means that the language is neither linked to its parent Proto-Indo-European nor compared to the modern Slavonic languages which are either descended from OCS or owe a large part of their vocabulary to it.
		Old Church Slavonic is my favourite archaic language in the IE family, and I encourage its study, but pick up one of the better grammars.

		Many of the reading selections in Robert Auty’s Handbook of Old Church Slavonic: Part II Texts and Glossary (London: The Athlone Press, 1960) present little challenge as they are from the OCS translation of the New Testament and so are already familiar to the student.
		The book is generally a synchronic treatment of the artificial language that we find in the manuscripts, with few references to Proto-Indo-European.
		I often marvel at how close the Slavonic languages remain to each other in spite of 1500 years of individual development.
