So far, more than 20 Slavic literary microlanguages have been identified, differing by the level of linguistic polyvalence they have achieved. The sources from which microlanguages derive their language efficiency are usually (at least for a certain time) the respective Slavic macrolanguages (such as Polish, Czech or Slovenian) characterized a longstanding literary tradition and use by distinguished representatives of the nation. Codificators of Slavic microlanguages attempt to increase their prestige in various ways. One of the methods of proving that a nascent literary language is functionally efficient and worthy of international recognition is the translation of world literature classics, including the whole or parts of the Bible. Translators of the Bible are, in a certain sense, following in the footsteps of their predecessors who intellectualized folk dialects or not yet fully effective written languages, transforming them into literary languages. As far as Slavic microlanguages are concerned, the richest collection of biblical writings can be found among the Lusatians, with the entire Protestant version of the Bible having been translated into Lower Sorbian and the entire Protestant and Catholic versions into Upper Serbian. The entire New Testament or the four Gospels have been translated into the following Slavic microlanguages: Cashubian, Prekmurje Slovene, Ruthenian, Banat Bulgarian and West Polesian. In case of the Silesian, Podhale, Carpatho-Rusyn (Lemko) and Eastern Slovakian microlanguages, only portions of the NT are available.

The idea of a common Slavic language has been strictly connected with the history of Slavophilism. The concept to use Russian or Old Church Slavonic as an all-Slavic language found numerous advocates. Apart from this, the projects of artificial all-Slavic languages were elaborated, that is “Slavic Esperanto”. Until today, we have come to know 29 such projects, among others, by J. Križanić, S.B. Linde (mainly on the basis of the Polish language), J. Herkel, M. Majar. A manifestation of the disintegration of the Slavic linguistic world is the formation of the so-called Slavic literary microlanguages. Nowadays, there exists more than 20 of such languages or the attempts of their codification.
