peer agreement (net): +1| slavonic languages linguae sclavinorum Explanation: Dear Mihailolja, in Late Latin you have "sclavini" as a noun for the "people neighbouring Bulgaria" - "the Slavs". The word is related to byzantine "sklávos" (servant, SLAVE), because these people were often "used" as "slaves". I can't find an adjective, but we can use a genitive here. Thus: "Lingua sclavinorum" (Language of the Slavs) "Linguae sclavinorum" (Languages of the Slavs) There must be some more adjectives, but this is what I have available right now :) I hope this helps.
