The East Slavic languages constitute one of the three regional subgroups of Slavic languages.
These languages are currently spoken natively throughout Eastern Europe and extend eastwards to Siberia and the Russian Far East; while being also spoken as a lingua franca in many regions of Caucasus and Central Asia.
Speakers of East Slavic languages far out-number the West Slavic and South Slavic language families.
The existing East Slavic languages are Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian; Rusyn is considered to be either a separate language or a dialect of Ukrainian.
The East Slavic languages descend from a common predecessor, Old East Slavic, the language of the medieval Kievan Rus' （9th to 13th centuries）.
All these languages use the Cyrillic script, but with particular modifications.
Belarusian and Ukrainian used to have Latin alphabets, and now Rusyn uses Latin in some regions.
The East Slavic territory exhibits a linguistic continuum with many transitional dialects.
Between Belarusian and Ukrainian there is the Polesian dialect, which shares features from both languages.
East Polesian is a transitional variety between Belarusian and Ukrainian on one hand, and between South Russian and Ukrainian on the other hand.
At the same time, Belarusian and Southern Russian form a continuous area, making it virtually impossible to draw a line between the two languages.
Central or Middle Russian （with its Moscow sub-dialect）, the transitional step between the North and the South, became a base for the Russian literary standard.
Northern Russian with its predecessor, the Old Novgorod dialect, has many original and archaic features.
Due to the influence of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth over many centuries, Belarusian and Ukrainian have been influenced in several respects by Polish, a West Slavic language / lechitic.
