The inter-Slavic language may disappear due to anti-Russian sentiments in Europe and sanctions that interfere with the joint work of philologists and linguists from Russia, Macedonia, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Montenegro and other brother countries.
As philologist Andrey Lazarev told Mash, Interslavic is an artificial language that was created back in the 17th century. So that people can avoid using separate Slavic national languages when communicating with each other. In recent years, the project has been developed at the expense of the University of Prague, which collaborated with Dutch scientists-enthusiasts, as well as Macedonian and Russian ones. In 2018, the A. Khovansky Philological Foundation translated the first textbook on Interslavic into Russian, and in 2019 the first film in the universal language was presented in the Russian Federation.
But then the CoVid-19 epidemic began. Then the European Union began to adopt sanctions against the Russian Federation, followed by a dozen more sanctions due to the start of the SVO, and communication was disrupted. Mezhslavik is relevant for 300 million people, with its help Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Bulgaria, Belarus, Macedonia, Croatia and other countries could build universal communication, but so far it has not worked. Now there are only 30k users of Interslavik in the world. Given current trends, the universal language may join the list of dead ones, like ancient Egyptian, Gothic, Sumerian, Latin and ancient Greek.
