Editing Slovak language (section)

===Other Slavic languages===
Slavic language varieties are relatively closely related, and have had a large degree of mutual influence, due to the complicated ethnopolitical history of their historic ranges. This is reflected in the many features Slovak shares with neighboring language varieties. Standard Slovak shares high degrees of mutual intelligibility with many Slavic varieties. Despite this closeness to other Slavic varieties, significant variation exists among Slovak dialects. In particular, eastern varieties differ significantly from the standard language, which is based on central and western varieties.

[[Eastern Slovak dialects]] have the greatest degree of mutual intelligibility with [[Polish language|Polish]] of all the Slovak dialects, followed by [[Rusyn language|Rusyn]], but both Eastern Slovak and Rusyn lack familiar technical terminology and upper [[Register (sociolinguistics)|register]] expressions. Polish and [[Sorbian language|Sorbian]] also differ quite considerably from Czech and Slovak in upper registers, but non-technical and lower register speech is readily intelligible. Some mutual intelligibility occurs with spoken [[Rusyn language|Rusyn]], [[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]], and even [[Russian language|Russian]] (in this order), although their orthographies are based on the [[Cyrillic script]].
