==Development from Proto-Slavic==
Slovincian shares many similar [[Kashubian language#Phonological processes from Proto-Slavic|developments as Kashubian]], with some notable differences being:

Long *a, often from being with a tautosyllabic voiced consonants, became <o> usually and <ó> (via <o>) before nasals. Otherwise, *a remained <a>.{{sfn|Lorentz|1903|pp=36}}
* *drapatь > drapac ("to scratch")
* *gradъ > gr'od ("hail")
* *gъpanъ > pón ("lord")
*a before tautosyllabic *r (*ar) > <or>.{{sfn|Lorentz|1903|pp=40}}
* *darъ > dor
*a before tautosyllabic *l, ľ > <ôù> (where *l and *ľ merged).{{sfn|Lorentz|1903|pp=41}}
* valъ > vôùl
*a before tautosyllabic *j> ôj medially and > ôù finally{{sfn|Lorentz|1903|pp=41}}
* *ajьko > jôjkô
* <v> from earlier *v and *v́ before a consonant and in the coda is lost between u̯ and a pause.{{sfn|Nitsch|1908|pp=122—123}}
* *pravьda > prôùda
Long Proto-Slavic *u fronts to <ú>. Initial *u also has a prothetic <w> inserted.{{sfn|Lorentz|1903|pp=56—58}}
* *učiti > wùczic
Short Proto-Slavic *o fronts to <ô>. Initial *o also has a prothetic <w> inserted. Short o raises to <ó> before liquids.{{sfn|Lorentz|1903|pp=58—63}}
* *okъno > wôknô
Proto-Slavic *e shifts to <ê> (which diphthongizes when stressed).{{sfn|Lorentz|1903|pp=63—67}}
* *teplъ > cêply
Proto-Slavic *ň hardens to <nj> (/nj/) medially and initially, and becomes /n/ finally.{{sfn|Lorentz|1903|pp=140}} For the spelling of <ń>, see the [[Slovincian language#Transcription|transcription]] of Slovinician
* *ničьto > njic
* *koňь > kóń (pronounced /ˈkon/).
A lack of further palatalization of soft *k and *g.{{sfn|Lorentz|1903|pp=140—143}}
* *kortъ̀kъ > krótkjy
* *dȏrgъ > drôgjy
[[Ł–l merger|Bëlaczenié]].{{sfn|Lorentz|1903|pp=144}}
