Church Slavonic language

The Church Slavonic language (Bulgarian: ????????????????? ????, tsarkovnoslavyanski ezik; {{lang-ru|??????????????????? ?????, tserkovnoslavyánskiy yazík}}) is the liturgical language of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Russian Orthodox Church, Serbian Orthodox Church and other Slavic Orthodox Churches. Historically, this language is derived from the Old Church Slavonic language by adapting pronunciation and orthography and replacing some old and obscure words and expressions by their vernacular counterparts (for example from the Old Russian language).
