Russian is the eighth most-spoken language in the world, and is the official language in Russia (of course!), Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. While an unofficial language, it is widely spoken in Ukraine, Moldova, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and to a lesser extent, the other countries that were once part of the Soviet Union. There are over 154 million native speakers worldwide and since it is a East Slavic language, it overlaps with Ukrainian, Polish and many others. At Languages in Motion, we open doors to Russian communities across the globe through clear communication, offering translations, from Russian to English, Amharic, Polish and vice versa.
Russian belongs to the family of Indo-European languages and is one of the three living members of the East Slavic languages. It is the most geographically widespread language of Eurasia and the most widely spoken of the Slavic languages. There are a total of 235 million people who speak Russian as a first and second language, which was dominant in the Soviet Union. Written Russian does not use the Latin alphabet like English and the West Slavic languages do. It uses a script called Cyrillic, whose letters, like that of Latin, came from Greek, but look different from them.

Yes, as Russian is an East Slavic language, there are similarities with Ukrainian, Latvian, Polish, Bulgarian and many other languages in Eastern Europe. Although they might sound similar and have similar words, it’s important to get accurate translations for all Russian documents. We help you with that.
