There seems to be a problem with the names of language families, and their categorization in grammatical categories, which is why they are not standardized and completely different depending on the editor. Some think they are adjectives, others think they're proper nouns, some use both.
The sense rfv'd here is (rare) Any of the East Slavic languages or their dialects, including Belarusian, Russian, Rusyn, and Ukrainian.. It is categorized as a common noun, but I doubt it is one. It is never used in that way (see the capitalization, for example), and it does not really make any sense. An entirely different issue is that I don't think it's rare. -- Prince Kassad 00:09, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- I have made it a proper noun. It remains to be cited or failed (or accepted as a proper noun, which means technically failed as a common noun). - -sche (discuss) 05:27, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
- RFV-failed (because I tried, and failed, to find examples of it with the rfv-ed meaning). - -sche (discuss) 02:12, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
