The West Slavic languages are a subdivision of the Slavic language group that includes Czech, Polish, Slovak, Kashubian, Lower Sorbian and Upper Sorbian. Classification according to the traditional model:〔(chapter 12 )〕 * Indo-European * * Balto-Slavic * * * Slavic * * * * West Slavic * * * * * Czech–Slovak languages * * * * * * Czech * * * * * * Slovak * * * * * Lechitic * * * * * * Polish * * * * * * Pomeranian (†) * * * * * * * Kashubian * * * * * * * Slovincian (†) * * * * * * Polabian (†) * * * * * Sorbian languages * * * * * * Upper Sorbian * * * * * * Lower Sorbian ==Distinctive features== Some distinctive features of the West Slavic languages, as from when they split from the East Slavic and South Slavic branches around the 3rd to 6th centuries AD, are as follows:〔Zenon Klemensiewicz, ''Historia języka polskiego'', 7th edition, Wydawnictwo naukowe PWN, Warsaw 1999. ISBN 83-01-12760-0〕 *development of proto-Slavic ''tj'', ''dj'' into palatalized ''ts'', ''(d)z'', as in modern Polish/Czech ''noc'' ("night"; compare Russian ночь); *retention of the groups ''kv'', ''gv'' as in Polish ''gwiazda'' ("star"; compare Russian звезда; but note also Russian цвет vs. Ukrainian квіт, "flower"); *retention of ''tl'', ''dl'', as in Polish/Czech ''radlo/rádlo'' ("ard"; compare Russian рало); *palatized ''h'' (ich-Laut) developed into ''š'', as in Polish ''musze'' (locative case of ''mucha'', "fly"); *the groups ''pj'', ''bj'', ''mj'', ''vj'' developed into (soft) consonant forms without the epenthesis of ''l'', as in Polish ''kupię'' ("I shall buy"; compare Russian куплю); *a tendency towards fixed stress (on the first or penultimate syllable); *use of the endings ''-ego'', ''-emu'' for the genitive and dative singular of the adjectival declension; *use of the pronoun form ''tъnъ'' rather than ''tъ'', leading to Polish/Czech ''ten'' ("this" (masc.); compare Russian тот); *extension of the genitive form ''čьso'' to nominative and accusative in place of ''čь(to)'', leading to Polish/Czech ''co'' ("what", compare Russian что). The West Slavic languages are all written using Latin script, in contrast to the Cyrillic-using East Slavic branch, and the South Slavic which uses both. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「West Slavic languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
