North Slavic languages

The term North Slavic languages is used in three main senses:

  • for a number of proposed groupings or subdivisions of the Slavic languages. However, "North Slavic" is not widely used in this sense. Modern scholars usually divide the Slavic languages into West Slavic, East Slavic, and South Slavic.
  • for the West Slavic and East Slavic languages considered as a combined unit, particularly when contrasted to South Slavic languages.
  • for a number of constructed languages that were created in the 20th and 21st century, and have been derived from existing Slavic languages.
