The vocabulary is derived from the most common words from [[Slavic languages]]. According to Hucko, Slovio is understandable by more than 400 million people (Slavic-speaking) throughout the world without any prior study of the language. 

However, critics say that such intelligibility is far from granted, especially for speakers of [[West Slavic languages]] (Polish, Czech and Slovak). For example, the Slovio words "sobak" (dog), "tper" (now), "g
ovorene" (speechit" (to speak) and "pecxen" (liver) are very similar to the Russian words "sobaka", "teper'", "razgovorit'" and "pyechen'", but have different roots in the Polish, Czech and Slovak languages.

== Alphabet ==

Slovio can be written using the [[Latin alphabet|Latin]] letters, as well as using [[Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]] letters. The Slovio letters lack any diacritic markings.
