Slavonic languages, also known as Slavic languages, are a group of Indo-European languages spoken primarily in Eastern Europe and parts of Central Asia. They are divided into three main branches: West Slavic, East Slavic, and South Slavic. Notable languages in these branches include Polish, Russian, and Bulgarian. These languages share common linguistic features, such as similar vocabulary and grammatical structures, due to their shared ancestry. The Slavonic languages have a rich literary tradition and are used by millions of speakers today, contributing to the cultural diversity of the regions where they are spoken.
