About Russian The Russian language belongs to the East *Slavonic family. It is a highly inflected language with six cases and a notable feature is the frequency of clusters of consonants. It is written in the **Cyrillic alphabet and the standard form is based on the dialect of Moscow. *Slavonic languages are native to East Europe and North West Asia. **The Cyrillic alphabet developed from a Greek alphabet of the 9th century AD in the course of Greek missionary work. It originally consisted of 43 letters, but modern versions have reduced this number to about 30. Is Russian difficult to learn?
