Church Slavonic Old Church Slavonic is the first Slavic language known to have been recorded in writing. It is the liturgical language of most branches of the Eastern Orthodox Church, although no longer spoken. Its alphabet uses the Cyrillic characters and several of it's own. It has its own numbering system using letters. Enough has been published on the web, that some quick links below will suffice for those seeking further information.
