Scope note
Baltic and Slavic languages are here groped into a single branch due to the exclusively shared features; developed in the early Common Era with Baltic and Slavic tribes occupying a large area of eastern Europe, including much of present-day Poland and the states of Belarus, Ukraine, and westernmost Russia. The earliest Slavic texts, written in a dialect called Old Church Slavonic, date from the 9th century CE; the oldest substantial material in Baltic dates to the end of the 14th century.
