Russian is one of the most influential languages globally due to its profound cultural heritage and strategic geopolitical significance. As the official language in Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Kyrgyzstan, and with extensive usage in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Russian serves as a crucial linguistic connection between Europe and Asia.

Although Slavic, Eurasian, and enigmatic, Russian wasn’t always the most dominant language in vast Russia. During the 19th century’s Golden Age of literature, Russian’s literary heritage grew, thanks to the impressive works of giants like Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and Pushkin.

Historically, the Russian elites and nobility favored French and German, but today, with over 258 million speakers, of which 170 million speak it as their mother tongue, translating into Russian offers access to an expanding market and a vibrant culture with a rich history. It is not applicable to revise the given text for technical writing quality as it already adheres to the principles or lacks context.

Therefore, the improved version in American English is: It is one of the most widely spoken Slavic languages and an official language of the United Nations, alongside Spanish, Arabic, French, English, and Mandarin Chinese.
