The Russian language
Russian (русский язык) is an East Slavic language that is closely related to other languages spoken in Europe. It is written using the Cyrillic alphabet.
Russian is the native language of about 175 million people and spoken as a second language by 130 million people, so there are over 300 million Russian speakers in total. Russian is spoken mainly in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and many other countries of the former Soviet Union. The differences between dialects are small, and Russian speakers around the world can easily understand the different dialects.
