Ukrainian is an East Slavic language, one of three members of this language group, the other two being Russian and Belarusian. Written Ukrainian bears resemblances to these two languages, but with many notable differences. Historically, Belarusian and Ukrainian diverged from Old or Middle Ruthenian/Rusian. Spoken literary Ukrainian, however finds a closer similarity for native speakers with Slovak. Spoken Ukrainian also exhibits marked similarities to Polish vocabulary, which some attribute, in part, to an influence of Polish upon Ruthenian and Ukrainian.
The relationships between Ukrainian and Russian have long been a subject of especially hot controversies. The summary of those controversies is that Ukrainians tend to say that these two languages are quite different, whereas Russians tend to say that they are quite similar.

Scholarship on the early history of the Ukrainian language was hampered by the lack of Ukrainian independence. Thus, much of the early scholarship of the language was viewed through the lens of foreign neighboring conceptions. Perhaps most notably, Russian Tsarist historiography denied the existence of a separate Ukrainian language. Soviet historiography manifested an ideology of three brotherly East Slavic nations. Modern Russian Empire enthusiasts tend to admit a difference between Ukrainian and Russian only at later time periods (fourteenth through 16th centuries). Some Ukrainian scholars see a divergence between the language of Kiev and Rus'-propria, also called Halych-Volynia and the language of the Finno-Ugric/Slavic mixed nation to the north (Russia) by the 1100sCenturies: 11th century 12th century 13th century Decades: 1050s 1060s 1070s 1080s 1090s 1100s 1110s 1120s 1130s 1140s 1150s Years: 1100 1101 1102 1103 1104 1105 1106 1107 1108 1109 Events and Trends 1107 Emperor Toba ascends the throne of Japan The great. Some European and American linguists concur.

Beyond the polemics of national pride and imperialist conceptions, the continuous presence of Slavic settlements in Ukraine, since at least the 6th century, provides an underlying ethno-linguistic factual basis for the origins of the Ukrainian language. The territory of Ukraine, especially, the western areas provided the central homeland for the original Slavs.
Immigration of Slavic tribes to the Western Slavic and Southern Slavic portions of Eastern Europe led to the dissolution of Early Common Slavic into three groups by the seventh century (East Slavic, West Slavic, South Slavic). During this time period, the ancestors of Ukrainian are thought to have already provided a Slavic identity to the Antes civilization.
