From its inception, Slavonic was something of an artificial language, meant to be comprehensible to the majority of Slavic tribes... Like this modern artificial language, Slovio/Slavsk, which AFAIK like all modern artificial/international languages has never caught on (people don't need them; they learn English) but is interesting to linguists and today's Slavophiles. It's like a Russian-based creole, simplified and easy to understand. My guess is if you learn this, a native Russian speaker could understand you. There are a couple synthetic languages which have significant adherents: Klingon and Esperanto.

There may be more Klingon than Esperanto speakers these days, if only because Klingon is more practical. As everybody know, love poetry reached its highest form of development under the Klingon Empire. Chicks can't resist a guy who can compose a sonnet in Klingon.
