Slavic languages


Explanation:
Słowiańszczyzna - termin mogący oznaczać:
1.Terytorium zamieszkiwane przez Słowian (symboliczny choronim pisany dużą literą, utworzony za pomocą polsko-ruskiego[1] formantu -szczy(z)na[2]/-шчы(з)на/-щи(з)на)
2.Wszystko, co wiąże się ze Słowianami (np. ogół języków słowiańskich jak angielszczyzna, polszczyzna, czy włoszczyzna - dawniej ogół rzeczy pochodzących z Włoch, chińszczyzna - termin odnoszący się do kuchni lub do rzeczy wytworzonych w Chinach, mający potocznie pejoratywne znaczenie - pisane małą literą).

Slavonism


Explanation:
Moja dawna Pani Profesor od lingwistyki wybrałaby tę opcję :)

"Slavic" and "Slavonic" are used interchangeably in English, with the former preferred in U.S. English, and the latter in UK English.

ewentualnie, jeśli chcesz zmienić szyk, jak sugeruje Konradxtofik, proponuję "Slavonic"
