Origins of the Russian language and accent
Russia was occupied from around the 6th century AD by Slavic tribes who settled in and around the area westward to the river Elbe and southward towards the Adriatic Sea.
Three languages emerged from this time, which were Western, Southern and Eastern Slav. It was the Eastern Slavonic language that formed the basis for Ukrainian, Belorussian and Russian.
The alphabet used for the Russian language was called Cyrillic and it is based on the Greek alphabet, with other letters added on to represent the Russian sound. The language was called Old Church Slavonic and it was improved and updated until around 1928 when the alphabet finally became as it is today. It contains loanwords from other countries such as Dutch, French, Latin and German.
As Russia ruled part of Finland during the 1800s, there are still some Finnish people who speak Russian. You will also hear it spoken in Estonia and Latvia. Russian is a popular second language for other Slavic language speakers, such as in Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria.
Russian dialects are split into three variants; North, South and Central, with Moscow in the central region and northern dialects being spoken along the area of the Volga river. Russian also has a number of derived languages including a slang language called Padonkaffsky Jargon, or Olbanian, which began as an internet language used by Russian internet users and a Pidgin language called Talmyr Pidgin Russian. It is spoken by people living in the Talmyr peninsular, in the far north of Russia.
