The West Slavs are Slavic peoples who speak the West Slavic languages. They separated from the common Slavic group around the 7th century, and established independent polities in Central Europe by the 8th to 9th centuries. The West Slavic languages diversified into their historically attested forms over the 10th to 14th centuries.
To the West Slavic branch belong Polish and other Lekhitic languages (Kashubian and its archaic variant Slovincian), Upper and Lower Sorbian (also called Lusatian or Wendish), Czech, and Slovak.
Both the Western and Eastern variants (recensions) of the Old Church Slavonic language are preserved in manuscripts of the 11th century, whereas the East Slavic (Russian) variant is reflected in the oldest dated Slavic manuscript, The Ostromir Gospel (1056–57), and in many later texts.
