Hi, Im from Poland and when I saw this video I was shocked. It was totaly amazing to me that someone created common language for all slavic people. It is very easy to understand and it would be fantastic to use this language as much as english because we - the Slavs we all have same roots and we should be close to each other also by using this language.

[@cynicalskeptic]

@@bacalnik00 well as someone who learned Russian in high school I can tell you that understanding it was a nightmare for me. There are too many false friends, and sometimes I can't tell what's a verb in a sentence. I think that average intelligibility for Serbs regarding Russian language is 10-20%. Polish is a different animal. Reading it is a pain in the ass for us due to its alphabet, plus there's added š and ž in just about every word you have. But all that aside, once one is aware of peculiarities of Polish language, intelligibility can jump from initial 20% to even 40% and maybe even more. There are false friends in Polish as well but not as much compared to Russian also how you make your sentences is more similar to how we do it. Slovakian is the most similar in that to us, from our perspective, then comes Polish. I'm not sure what to think of the Czechs 😁. I noticed that some number of Poles likes listening to our Rock music, especially from ex-Yu era, and etno music as well and they can apparently make sense of it . On the other hand I heard that some Serbian teenagers are learning Polish because of Polish rap so there's that. 😊

[@andrejbelej7646]

I am a Slovak and I perfectly understood this video in Interslavic. I thought it was because Czech and Slovak are very close to this language (as Vojto Merunko said later in the video). I am impressed that also other Slavs (you as a Serbian, Pole in the video, Bulgarian and Croatian in other videos...) understand almost everything. I wish this language were learned at schools in our countries.

Here's a funny thing: If you copy an Interslavic text into Google Translate and select the setting "Detect language," the automatic translator will usually take it to be written in either Slovene or Croatian, and the translation comes out surprisingly accurate. I've tried this several times myself and still can't wrap my head around how that works.

iirc he is from Czechia, so he has a Czech accent when he is speaking Interslavic of which the Polish guy can understand from. Also Interslavic is a merger of 2 big inter-languages for slavic speakers. This guy did the mathematics and programming behind finding the most common words for each of the major branches of the slavic language family. Interslavic has both Latin and Cyrillic scripts (later on in the video he praise Serbians for understand both scripts when him and his team was doing on the field research).

[@Turagrong]

Well Serbo-Croatian and Czech-Slovaks have "basically the same" accent, definitely when compared to other Slavs Also though: I, as a Czech, find the accent of some Slovak speakers very different from Czech - but that depends upon the speaker. Sometimes it's very original.

[@aurelfarkasovsky]

Yeah, many of the words chosen as common in Interslavic are either archaic in some Slavic languages or only use common roots with different prefixes, or synonymous roots with synonymous prefixes, also words found only in certain dialects in some languages, or something along those lines, so unless you're a native speaker, you're going to have a hard time guessing the meanings of such words. Thankfully, such words are the minority, so with some effort and exposure to the language, you should be just fine. 👌

People think language learning is hard, and only smart people can really do it. This is false. It does require some effort, but most people can afford a few hours a week to study a language. I've been learning Serbian for about a year, and I understand about 90% of what my GFs family talk about. Sometimes even more.

It's simple. The language lives from the number of speakers, and the one that is promoted most will win. After WW2 it was English.

..... very difficult grammar, with a lot of irregularities and exceptions for those who'd like to speak and write in it. If it's not simplified, just very few people will be able to speak and write in this slavic conlang.

[@notoriusmaximus783]

As a native Slavic speaker I must say that its grammar is very natural and intuitive for me. The irregularities you mention are of very old origins and are shared among all Slavic languages, what makes this conlang very natural. There is another older Slavic conlang project (Slovio) with very simplified grammar. But for me it's almost incomprehensible. So you could learn it quite easily, but nobody would understand you. Slavic languages have complex grammar and are highly inflected and respecting this fact was right. You cannot eliminate the feature, which makes the common stable core, the glue of Slavic languages group, i.e. grammar. For a Slavic native speaker, learning Interslavic grammar means to learn some minor differences from his native language rather than learning something brand new and complex.

this is so interesting. I don't speak any Slavic language but know they all have many cases and declensions, three case genders etc. So, how does Interslavic deal witht that? Has it got rid of the feminine, masculune and neutral forms of nouns? Has it got rid of things like genitive markers for words?

[@bouncybird2331]

it retains all of that, because it's a Slavic interlang; it's meant for intelligibility between Slavic speakers, not ease of learnability for non-slavic speakers. However that doesn't mean it's not very regular has very few exceptions, as well as a very small amount of declensions :)

@@bouncybird2331 thanks, for this. So, for me to understand correctly, all nouns in Slavic languages (or most, not Bulgarian?) have one of three genders, and the genders are the same across all Slavic lanuages, say 'dog' is same across all languages? Or, how does Interslavic decide which gender a noun is?

[@bouncybird2331]

@@SionTJobbins Bulgarian and Macedonian are the two exceptions to this, as they lost grammatical case, but yes, the majority of all Slavic languages share the same general word/words for a thing, with the same gender, as they are all derived from one *Proto Slavic*. Gender can be a surprisingly consistent thing in language, for example Spanish retains the feminine gender of "mano" and the masculine of "dia" despite them looking exactly like the opposite gender, simply because it's historically what their gender was in Latin.

[@bouncybird2331]

that's not to say that languages don't differ though, with your "dog" example they're fairly consistent: interslavic "pes", Russian and Belarusian "пёс" (pjos), Ukrainian, Macedonian, Bulgarian "пес", Czech, Slovak, Slovene "pes" Polish "pies" Serbian "pas" however there is a (admittedly large) problem: like the east Slavic languages also have synonyms or variations of "dog" ("sobaka") or south Slavic with "kuče", sometimes all languages don't share a common word. the current system is to include the most common word/words cross linguistically, but this can result in having two or maybe three equivalent words simply because of the range of languages that interslavic spans. put simply, most of the time, all or the majority of Slavic languages will agree on a single word, but sometimes there'll be an equal split, which currently there is no solution for other than including both words.

Это ведь хорошо, если мы славяне будем понимать друг друга. Я не очень хорошо понимаю церковно славянский. Зато между славянский понятен мне на 99℅. Некоторые слова (очень маленькое количество) сначала не совсем понятны, но мозг дополняет ассоциации по смыслу текста. Пусть письменность и существовала, но ведь она утрачена. Я рада любой возможности объединения славян.
