The present treatise tackles three issues: 1. the periodization of the history of currently existing literary Slavic languages, 2. the chronology of phonetic changes in the Proto-Slavic langue until its breakup, 3. the final period of existence of the Proto-Slavic language and the real image of the phonological system of the Old Church Slavonic language, based on dialectological research as well as on detailed analysis of both alphabets (of the phonetic features in correlation with the graphic image of the letters). Ad 1. In languages whose writing traditions developed from Old Church Slavonic, we distinguish a Church Slavonic period of a specific recension (e.g. Ukrainian, Serbian), and subsequently the period of national revival and the contemporary language. In areas where, in contrast, the first texts were written in a non-Slavic language (e. g. Latin) we distinguish periods on the basis of cultural and literary trends. Exceptions: a) The Polish language, which has the longest uninterrupted history of weightings based on the same dialect, for which we distinguish the Old Polish, Middle Polish and Modern Polish periods, b) the Bulgarian language with a Church Slavonic tradition (the language known as Old Bulgarian, based on the dialect of Thessaloniki, used until the 18th century, and Modern Bulgarian based on the Northeastern dialect). Ad 2. It is necessary to distinguish the Proto-Slavic language, common for all Slaves living in their Urheimat, from the Common Slavic language, with dialectal differences, especially in connection with recent dialectological research, in particular since G.Y. Shevelov (1964) published his well-known work concerning historical Proto-Slavic phonology. Ad 3. The analysis of the oldest Slavic alphabets points to the necessity of revising the views on the phonetic value of the graphemes discussed in detail in the paper..
