Old church slavonic ?!?

[language learner]

I normally prefer Old Russian (Old East Slavic) to Old Church Slavonic simply because Old Russian was the real language, unlike OCS..

Old Bulgarian was also a real language - I don't get what you mean.

What I mean is that OCS is not really Old Bulgarian. I mean it used Old Bulgarian as its lexical basis, but it was strikingly different from the vernacular because of large numbers of Greek loan-translations and the Greek word order. In that sense, OCS is an artificial language created by monks translating Greek religious texts.

It is a literary norm of the language. Every language with a literature history has a literary form which is slightly different than the vernacular language. For some languages that literary form is more or less artificially created, as you say. But nevertheless, it's the same language.

Greetings.

I have recently started to learn Old Church Slavonic via internet. Since I have seen some of you know the language, can I ask you to translate some stuff for me, if you have time?

For the beginning, I would like to know how do you say "Position of the Slavonic language?" (By Slavonic I mean Old Church Slavonic)

My best guess would be: "Положєньѥ Словѣньскогѡ ѩзъіка"
Is that correct?

Thank you in advance.

"Положєньѥ Словѣньскагѡ ѩзъіка"

I actually now think it may be rather like this. Or perhaps "Словѣньскаго".
