Summary/Abstract: The analysis deals with typologically relevant phenomena on phonological level of the Slovak and Belorussian languages. Slovak represents a transient type between extreme vocalic and extreme consonantal types because the proportion of vowels (15) and consonants (27) is relatively balanced. Literary Belorussian belongs to the extreme consonantal type with undeveloped vocalism (6 vowels) and developed consonantism (37 consonants).
