From [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Slavic_languages here]:
* '''Palatalisation'''
:* Some dialects allow palatalisation across *v, thus *gvězda > Ru. звезда, Pl. gwiazda, Cz. hvězda, Ma. ѕвезда.

:* Varying levels of depalatalisation and generalised palatalisation. Cf. Russian 4-way palatalisation using ь and *J, and Czech lack of palatalisation despite ř. Polish split consonants based on palatalisation.
:* Palatalisation leads to *y and *i merging in common Slavic (e.g. i/y = same; ji/jy = same).
* '''The yers ь and ъ'''
:* Quoting the article: ''This change is known as Havlík's law. A yer at the end of a word, or preceding a strong yer or non-yer vowel was weak, and a yer followed by a weak yer became strong. The pattern created sequences of alternating strong and weak yers within each word: every odd yer encountered was weak, every even yer was strong.''.
:* Example given: sъmolьnьskъ (NOM SING), sъmolьnьska (GEN SING) (Smolensk).
:* Yer realisations from article, see article for more examples:

:* Vowel deletion results in a whole new set of problems where sonorant clusters appear. Russian and Polish just live with the resulting clusters, Serbo-Croatian strengthens yers, sonorants are made syllabic in Serbo-Croatian and Macedonian, and a prothetic vowel is used in Belorussian dialects (example given: ''lënu ~ l'nu ~ il'nú "flax (gen. sg.)" (Common Slavic *lьnu)'').
:* If a cluster still needs breaking, strong yer is inserted.
:* See article for info on tense yers with Russian.
* '''Liquid diphthongs'''
:* East slavic use VLV instead of LV metathesis; ele merges with olo but ere != oro. ьr, ъr, ьl, ъl become er, or, ol, ol in East Slavic.
* '''The nasal vowels ę and ǫ'''

:* Length comes from accent, therefore accent needs to be considered at some point.
:* Czech outcomes depend on palatalisation.
:* Slovak outcomes depend on labials (bä).
* '''The yat vowel ě'''
:* Presumably long ē that survived, lowered and even diphthongised to [iæ].
:: Later raised in most contexts outside Bulg. and Pol., then promptly diphthongised or simplified to [e] or [i].
::* Russian simplified it to [e] but *e > [E]; [e] > e, and [E] > jo before non-palatalised consonants (getting Gaelic here!). Ignored by Church loans (e.g. remained [E]), then surviving [E] and [e] merged.
