Summary

Heritage speakers of Slavic languages constitute a large proportion of heritage speaker communities worldwide. Slavic heritage communities manifest a strong feeling of loyalty toward the home language and culture as well as the establishment of institutions (churches, clubs, community schools, etc.) that support language and culture maintenance. Recent research on heritage speakers of Russian in the United States suggests that the preservation of family ties remains the core motivation for language maintenance. On the linguistic level, Slavic heritage languages reveal striking parallels regarding the restructuring, partial reduction, and simplification of phonology, grammar, and the lexicon. While the majority language without doubt exerts a pervasive impact on the respective Slavic heritage grammar and lexicon, parallel developments in the same heritage language spoken in different countries hint at more universal principles of language change being at play in reshaping heritage grammars. As some heritage languages have received more attention than others, more systematic comparative research is needed to shed additional light on these language-independent developments.
