South Slavic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1772 words) |
 | South Slavic languages comprise one of the three groups of Slavic languages (besides West and East Slavic). |
| Slovenians basically speak the same dialect, codified as Slovenian language, Croats speak three main and two exclaval dialects in four countries, while their standard language is based on Štokavian Ijekavian. |
| The so-called Molise Slavic language is a dialect spoken in three villages of the Italian region of Molise by the descendants of South Slavs who migrated there from the eastern Adriatic coast in the 15th century. |
| Slavonic languages (5789 words) |
| The Slovak literary language was formed on the basis of a Central Slovak dialect in the middle of the 19th century. |
| 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. |
