Present-day Slavic peoples are classified into [[West Slavs]] (mainly [[Poles]], [[Silesians]], [[Czechs]], [[Moravians]] and [[Slovaks]]), [[East Slavs]] (mainly [[Ukrainians]], [[Belarusians]], and [[Russians]]), and [[South Slavs]] (mainly [[Serbs]], [[Bulgarians]], [[Croats]], [[Bosniaks]], [[Pomak]], [[Torbesh]], [[Gorani people|Gorani]], [[Macedonians (ethnic group)|Macedonians]], [[Slovenes]], and [[Montenegrins]]).
