Slavic-language Surnames
The Slavic languages, also known as the Slavonic languages, are Indo-European languages spoken primarily by the Slavic peoples and their descendants. They are thought to descend from a proto-language called Proto-Slavic, spoken during the Early Middle Ages, which in turn is thought to have descended from the earlier Proto-Balto-Slavic language, linking the Slavic languages to the Baltic languages in a Balto-Slavic group within the Indo-European family. The current geographical distribution of natively spoken Slavic languages includes the Balkans, Central and Eastern Europe, and all the way from Western Siberia to the Russian Far East. Furthermore, the diasporas of many Slavic peoples have established isolated minorities of speakers of their languages all over the world. The number of speakers of all Slavic languages together was estimated to be 315 million at the turn of the twenty-first century. It is the largest and most diverse ethno-linguistic group in Europe.

Spivak Pronoun
The Spivak pronouns 'e/em/eir' are a set of gender-neutral pronouns in English promoted on the virtual community ''LambdaMOO'' based on pronouns used in a book by American mathematician Michael Spivak. Though not in widespread use, they have been employed in writing for gender-neutral language by those who wish to avoid the standard terms ''he'', ''she'', or singular ''they''. History The precise history of the Spivak pronouns is unclear, since they appear to have been independently created multiple times. The first recorded use of the pronouns was in a January 1890 editorial by James Rogers, who derives ''e'', ''es'', and ''em'' from ''he'' and ''them'' in response to the proposed ''thon''.Rogers, James "That Impersonal Pronoun." Editorial. Comp. William Henry Hills '' The Writer'' Boston. Jan. 1890, 4th ed.: 12-13. ''Google Books''. Google. Web.

Nissan Spivak
Nissan Spivak (18241906, born Nissi Belzer) was a Jewish Hazzan, cantor and composer. Career Born in , he was cantor in Bălţi (''Beltsy''), Bessarabia, and was generally known as ‘Nisn Beltzer’. Later he was cantor at Kishinev (Bessarabia) and from 1877 at Berdychiv (now in Ukraine). In his childhood he had an accident which damaged his voice but he had an extensive reputation primarily as a composer and choir conductor. It was his vocal handicap that led him to develop original synagogue music in which the choir, instead of being merely an accompaniment or used for responses, was assigned lengthy ensembles - with solos and duets - reducing the role of the cantor. Spivak attracted many students to Berdychiv, including Boris Thomashefsky and Lipa Feingold, and took his choirs to other centers, including Hasidic courts. Spivak died in Ukraine and was survived by his son Joseph Spivak. References Bibliography * Notes 1824 births 1906 deaths Jews from the ...
