Slavic languages can be subdivided into three groups: Eastern, Southern, and Western Slavic languages. Due to geopolitical, cultural, religious and economic reasons, language contacts over time were more frequent between Eastern and Southern Slavic peoples, on the one hand, and between Southern and Western Slavic peoples on the other. Therefore, there is less similarity, linguistically speaking, between Eastern and Western Slavic languages than could be expected based on geographical proximity.
Eastern: Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian
Southern: Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, Slovenian
Western: Slovak, Czech, Polish
Note: There are also some smaller, nonofficial languages that belong to the Slavic group, for instance Sorbian and Kashubian.
