summary: The relative frequency of equal sounds in pairs of adjacent numerals from 1 to 10 in languages of eleven language groups is a basis for calculation of linguistic distances. By this criterion, the Slavic languages form a cluster separated from all other tested languages. Of other languages, Avestan and Sanskrit are the closest to them. The Germanic languages form another cluster but this cluster is within the space of other tested languages, which are widely dispersed. This is an additional indication that the aboriginal Proto-Indo-European was Proto-Slavic and their speakers were the aboriginal Europeans: mainly the Y Chromosome haplogroup I, mtDNA haplogroup U people. In contact with newcomers of other language groups either the newcomers turned to Proto-Slavic, or the previously Proto-Slavic speakers lost their Proto-Slavic at all, or they turned the non-Indo-European newcomers into Indo-European. A novel time line for Nostratic studies is proposed.

summary: The discussion about the content of the concept Old (Church) Slavonic and its place in the general system of languages has been going on for more than one century and can hardly be considered complete. In the 20th century, the development of humanitarian discourse was largely determined by the secular-scientific atheistic paradigm, which had a palpable influence on the formation of the linguistic tradition in general and functional linguistic typology in particular. The focus of this article is on the sociolin- guistic aspects of this essential problem of Slavic linguistics.

summary: The article discusses the impact of the quality of communication tools on both global and zonal sustainable development. In particular, the role of the constructed interslavic language in creating the Slavic linguistic picture of the world is examined, as well as the cultural, historical, philosophical and social aspects of this process. This quality determines the effectiveness of interaction not only in interethnic relations, but also between social strata in the Slavic world. Special attention is devoted to the formation of a creative class that owns this communication tool and is able to determine the development vectors of the Slavic world.

summary: The article deals with the primary factors of the Southern Ukraine mentality formation. Mentality is a national type of world attitude based on linguistic images and symbols (often subconscious) that determine stereotypes of behavior, psychological reactions, the evaluation of certain events or individuals, and the attitude towards the surrounding reality. One of the most significant factors influencing the mentality formation of the Sou-thern Ukraine population is the linguistic factor. The distinction of languages me-ans, first of all, the difference between worldviews. National mentality fulfills the functions of historical memory and allows the people preserving identity and ethnic self-consciousness. The rural population that kept the ancient agricultural traditions, the outlook of ancestors-rebels and defenders of the Fatherland had chances to rebuild the independent Ukrainian state based on its social ideal (land, freedom, individual economy, and cultural traditions). For that case, the peasantry of the South of Ukraine, which has accumulated in itself the most characteristic features of the ancient Ukrainian (life in the steppe, love for religion, and rejection of any power except its own), is indicative.

summary: The article presents information about the increasingly growing and gaining soci-al support of the Interslavic language and the substantive need to promote and implement it in schools in various Slavic countries. The initiated research on the readiness of teachers to include Interslavic's educational offer in schools is worth discussing Slavic, pedagogical, sociological and other scientific environments. An opportunity to exchange research initiatives in this area will be the 2nd CISLa 2018 conference and the Days of Slavic culture from 31 May to 3 June 2018 in the Czech Republic.

summary: The paper discusses the relationship between language and culture, the influence of language on cultural development, the question of emergence of language structure in the distant past, the concept of globalization and the extension of linguistic links. An idea is presented about the mass eruption of the volcano Toba on the island of Sumatra about 75,000 BC, since it may have brought about a crisis that finally had an influence on the develop of language and complex cultures in our species. Imagination probably, not only logic, was important in this development. Later in the article a description is given in regard to the tendency on combining human societies in the world, namely "globalisation", and then a summary follows in regard to "international communication", first with a comment on lingua franca (a "business language"). At the end of the article an opinion is mentioned, i.e. that respecting differences in the world is necessary, and that this is also connected to linguistic dimensions.

summary: Although SIL explicitly states the intention to assign ISO 639-3 codes to constructed languages as well, the criteria it applies for inclusion are very unclear, and mostly pertaining to natural languages. The 21 constructed languages that currently have a code appear to have been selected rather haphazardly, and half of them do not even fulfil the criteria. Besides, there is little consistency in the arguments used for turning down change requests. Constructed languages have characteristics that require a specific approach, which until now SIL has been unable to provide. To cope with this problem, the author proposes four measurable criteria: completeness, literature, community and notability. Two additional factors, uniqueness and permanence, cannot really be used as criteria, but are still worth being taken into account. The second part of the article deals with Interslavic. Although Interslavic appears to fulfil both the criteria applied by SIL and the criteria proposed by the author, a request for a code has been turned down twice. The arguments used by the Registration Authority (that Interslavic is not one single language, that it does not have a well-developed or long history, that it is not sufficiently standardised, and that there is no substantial literature or user community) are refuted one by one.

summary: The article describes the use of Interslavic in the upcoming film Painted Bird by Czech producer Vaclav Marhoul according to the same-name book by Polish-American writer Jerzy Kosinski. For this movie, it was necessary to create fictitious country and nation generally representing Central and Eastern Europe where, in 1939-1945, was the Nazi occupation and the front of the Red Army of the USSR. It is because the original story in the book is not an exact author's autobiography, but rather a synthesis of more similar life stories, which undoubtedly many times in different variants took place throughout Europe at that time.

Esperanto was one of numerous similar languages made in various countries of Europe. But Esperanto only had a big influence of both Slavic cultures and languages, and many actors of Esperanto-Movement before the first half of the XX century had Slavic origin. In this article author is speaking about what kind of the influence the Slavdom made for Esperanto.

summary: In this text we are discussing several factors of languages, native and foreign ones, their impact on a society in global, popular culture and a general development of the society. Further on, we discuss possible use of Neoslavic language within the EU as an "assistant" Slavic language that is politically neutral and therefore suitable for more economic and faster translation of official documents. The text specifically deals with the example of English language in Croatia and offers a zonal language - the Interslavic language as an alternative to a language that is being imposed mainly on economic bases.

summary: The Interslavic language differs fundamentally from other languages, both natural and artificial, in that it consists of ranges of possibilies rather than a fixed set of rules. An official orthography seems out of reach, as it would go against the very nature of the language. But where standardisation fails, systematisation might succeed. The best way to ensure the necessary flexibility is a prototype orthography, consisting of a basic alphabet and an additional set of optional characters.
