Old East Slavic
Old East Slavic is the language that people in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus spoke a really long time ago, like hundreds and hundreds of years ago. It's kind of like how people used to speak English differently a long time ago.
Back then, there wasn't just one country in this area. Instead, there were many small groups of people, each with their own language and way of doing things. But they all had some things in common, and their languages were all similar to each other. So, they called all of these languages Old East Slavic.
Old East Slavic has some really interesting features, like special letters that don't exist in the alphabet we use today. It also used different words and phrases to describe things that we might talk about differently now.
Although people don't speak Old East Slavic anymore, it was really important because it helped shape the modern-day languages that people speak in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. So, even though it's not around anymore, we still learn about it and remember its significance.
