The name, Slovio, comes from the Proto-Slavic slovo which means "word" and has been retained in similar form in contemporary Bulgarian, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Russian, Macedonian and Ukrainian languages. As of May 2006, the dictionary of Slovio contains over 37,000 entries. Proto-Slavic is the proto-language from which Old Church Slavonic and other Slavic languages later emerged. ...
The Serbian language is one of the standard versions of the Å tokavian dialect, used primarily in Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and by Serbs everywhere. ...
Characterization The grammar principles of Slovio are similar to Esperanto (unified noun, adjective and verb endings, no flexion). Affixes are used to change the function or meaning of a word. For example, adding -ju to the end of a word makes it an adjective to a neighbouring noun. Consequently, there is no need for a strict word sequence: Look up Esperanto in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

An adjective is a part of speech which modifies a noun, usually describing it or making its meaning more specific. ...

The vocabulary is derived from the most common words from Slavic languages. According to Hucko, Slovio is understandable by more than 400 million people (Slavic-speaking) throughout the world without any prior study of the language. The Slavic languages (also called Slavonic languages), a group of closely related languages of the Slavic peoples and a subgroup of Indo-European languages, have speakers in most of Eastern Europe, in much of the Balkans, in parts of Central Europe, and in the northern part of Asia. ...
However, critics say that such intelligibility is far from granted, especially for speakers of West Slavic languages (Polish, Czech and Slovak). For example, the Slovio words "sobak" (dog), "tper" (now), "gvorit" (to speak) and "pecxen" (liver) are very similar to the Russian words "sobaka", "teper", "govorit" and "pyechen", but have different roots in the Polish, Czech and Slovak languages. To overcome this, sometimes synonyms are used, e.g. the word "pes" for (dog).

Alphabet Slovio can be written using the Latin letters, as well as using Cyrillic letters. The Slovio letters lack any diacritic markings. The Latin alphabet, also called the Roman alphabet, is the most widely used alphabetic writing system in the world today. ...
The Cyrillic alphabet (or azbuka, from the old name of the first two letters) is an alphabet used to write six natural Slavic languages (Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian) and many other languages of the former Soviet Union, Asia and Eastern Europe. ...
The sound and pronunciation of the letters are similar to Esperanto, except for the Slovio letters cx, gx, sx, zx, and h. Using a letter in combination with the letter x forms a new single sound. For example, s represents the s sound, and sx the English sh sound. This system allows for easy transmission via computer and other communication networks without the need for any special fonts.
