Fascinating and intimidating all at once. I'm interested in Polish, my grandmother's first language, and Russian, because it's so widely spoken, although now I may never get to use it because of the way the world is now. I started learning Russian with the Cyrillic alphabet, which I used to write all my school notes in. The science teacher collected our notebooks as part of our grade. Imagine my surprise when he required me to transcribe the whole thing into English. By tomorrow. Lots of work, and a great study tool ! I got an A in science that year!

[@siasea_lang]

@@lanctermann7261 Amazing! I’m sure you can get to use Russian a lot, there are Russian speakers all over the world 🌍

@@Pidalin The word 'labor' is actually american way on how to write 'labour' and it's english equivalent for czech (slavic) word 'robota'. But yeah, Karel Čapek sometimes used english words to create czech name and czech word to create english name. Like the name Rossum in Rossum's Universal Robots. It's clear that it's modified word 'rozum' which stands for 'reason'/ 'mind'.

[@siasea_lang]

@@braziliaan Thank you ☺️ I don’t have much experience with Slovak, but I love Polish too

[@stipe3124]

Best video you did :) Also "Vatra - Tango" 👍 good choice . Rusyn sounded like Polish trying to speak South Slavic languages, almost like priest from my town that comes from Poland and sounds simillar when speaking Croatian. For other South Slavic languages or variations i know for Croatian are Molise or Moliški in Italy which is variation of Croatian before Ottomans Gradiščanski Hrvatski or Burgenland Croatian also one that was before Ottomans and is spoken on Austrian/Slovakian borde area There is also Krašovanski which is spoken in Romania and has small number of speakers but it is closer to Torlački than to other Croatian, Torlački is South Serbian dialect. Also Ča/Čo in Chakavian but seems Slovaks use Čo also . Now you need to make "False Friends video some day because it is funny in Slavic languages. Nešto kao kad "Užasno" u Hrvatskom znači "Terrible" ali u Češkom "Užasne" znači "Super,Great"

though bulgarian and macedonian lost its case system but it has a very conservative verbal morphology keeping a lot of proto slavic elements intact. Bulgarian and Macedonian along with Serbian are part of Balkan sprachbund which have other members like romani , romanian , balkan turkish, greek and Albanian. One o the feature is lack of infinitive(it exists in serbian but its use is a bit limited). they use construction like да + verb for example Вчера исках да напиша книга за Мария Дукейна. Yesterday, I wanted that I would write a book about(litrally behind) Marija Doukaina.(having the meaning Yesterday, I wanted to write a book about Mariya Doukajna. Јуче(р) сам желео да напишем књигу о Марији Соукаини. thats serbian while croatian id be using the construction. Jučer sam želio napisati knjigu o Mariji Soukajni.

The Polish language is nowadays uniquely homogeneous for a language, mainly as a result of the forced resettlement and migration of a huge part of the population after the Second World War, and partly as a result of the communist authorities' rather hostile view of regional dialects. The problem with Silesian is that there are many dialects of the language and, for example, in some places there are more words of Czech origin, in others of Moravian origin, in others of German origin and in others of Old Polish origin. In fact, they speak a little differently in each village. (Those that do speak Silesian, because, due to the aforementioned resettlements and migrations, many villages in Silesia have more post-WWII incomers than Silesians.) Books or broadcasts in Silesian are produced in only one of its versions, not reflecting the wealth of dialects. I suppose the same is true of other languages, but I am more familiar with the issue of Silesian. (I think I have accidentally revealed here where I'm from. Well.) The Rusyn language, I noticed, has an accent like in Highland Polish on the first syllable? To me, it sounds so cool. The excerpt, which was supposed to be in Czech, is in Polish! Slovak is perhaps a little more intelligible than Czech for a Pole, but to tell you the truth, when I was in Slovakia visiting some tourist place with a Slovak guide, I understood very little, only single words. Many consider Kashubian to be a separate West Slavic language. In Poland, the students can choose to pass the matura (high school leaving exam) of this language as an elective subject. There is also some dispute as to whether it is a dialect or a language, but Kashubian as a language has more supporters among linguists than Silesian. Actually, Great Moravia is the birthplace of the Cyrillic alphabet. In Bulgaria, the disciples of Cyril and Methodius were involved. You have an uneven volume, the inserts are very loud while you speak very quietly. But overall, very interesting video, many interesting facts I didn't know. 😊

[@siasea_lang]

Thank you for your comment! I’m curious, do you easily understand Kashubian or is it very different to you? How could I mix Polish and Czech 🤦‍♀️

[@karolinaa.6183]

​@@siasea_langI don't know, I've never been to Kashubia. As you asked, I looked on YT for a video of Kashubian, so I'll check it later. It also made me remember the channel, which I think you'll really like. Here is an episode with Kashubian, and there are also many videos comparing different Slavic and other languages: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZKbcnZqg5inrpYsi=5QALxu41y5GvXdKy

[@Xisbrezatsgzormd]

Somehow I find Slovakian even easier to perceive as Ukrainian than Polish. Slovakian is more cleaned from difficult sounds in comparison to Czech (and probably that’s why it’s not that much clear to Poles). But now it’s hard to judge for me since I know Polish too and my experience with Czech/Slovak is limited 😂

[@siasea_lang]

@ Interesting! I should listen to Slovak more, I don’t really have experience with this language

[@Ballykeith]

A very comprehensive treatment - Спасибо! I wonder if anyone has got near to speaking all of the major ones - or at least getting by in each. The only additional ones I can think of is a variety of Croatian (Slavomolisano) that has been spoken in southern Italy since the sixteenth century and the pan-Slavic constructed languages such as Interslavic.

[@siasea_lang]

@@Ballykeith I’m glad you liked it☺️ I speak Russian, Ukrainian, Croatian and I’m learning Polish, and it’s already hard because words just mix in my head since many of them are similar. So I also wonder if anyone can really speak all of them or at least the majority, that must be really hard! And thanks for your addition, I’ve never heard about Slavomolisano

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="940">15:40</a> Sorry, but it isn't spoken in Czech, but in.... Polish? As far as I know, Kafka wrote in German, although he was Jew with Czech surname (meaning jackdaw) and was able to speak in Czech, but we can call him Prag writer for sure. But to even the counts, you could mention Hašek (Goog soldier Švejk) or Kundera (The joke). Btw. I am not sure, how in other Slavic languages, but dual has it remains in Czech, so "plural" of pair body parts is different from standard plural as eyes on face are "oči", but "oka" otherwise, the same with ears - "uši" vs. "ucha"... and also "oba" and "dva" for count of two.
