3 Forgotten Slavic Languages: Part 3

After over 7 months, Forgotten Slavic Languages returns with a third episode! In this video, we discuss 3 more languages (or are they?) that are lesser-known, including one that even I had never heard of until the other day. Yalla!

    As a native Rusyn speaker, I can understand Podlachian 100%. Even though this is a short sample, it seems even closer to my language than Ukrainian. Another thing we got in common is that some Ukrainians claim both of our languages as their respective dialects. Thanks for the video!

    As a native polish speaker, i can say that podlasian looks like czech with some polish vocabulary, but in itself isn't intelligible with polish. However i've never heard about it, and it blew me away that such a language is not really recognised, but i'm not surprised, since our government is kinda notorious for not doing anything about regional languages. Edit 5 months later: wow this comment aged like milk, the only reason i said that "it looks like czech" is because of the diacritics over "š ď č ť" (mainly since i didn't know they DON'T appear only in polish and are prevelent in other slavic languages and czech was the only one i was most familiar with) and when i'm re-visiting this video after learning ukrainian, being competent in russian and checking out some slovak i can confidently say it's just a ruthenian language with an abundance of lechitic words (however i saw "velmi" which appears mainly in czecho-slovak languages). But if i had to say how much i understood of it, i'd say ~95% of words but thanks to context basically 100% of the text.

    If I am not mistaken Croatian renesanse book called Judita was written in Chakavian. It was the language of Croatian writters and folk and it reached from coast tp Bodnia and even coming to the Zagreb. Rest of slavonia spoke kajkavian and Croats in Bosnia, Dubrovnik and parts of Dalmatia and Slavonia spoke Stokavian. Since Iliryan movement was strong in Croatia they wanted to unite languages. Thats why instead of creating creol between 3 dialects/čanguages Ljudevit Gaj wrote everything in Croatian Stokabian so its similar to Serbian. Later Vuk Karadžić used that to write biggest Serbian dialect into being and now both nations are stuck with same language becouse of failed ideology.

    as a belarusian speaker, podlachian is completely understandable and not that different from what you could hear talking to people in villages closer to the western border of Belarus it seems to be a mix of both ukrainian and belarusian features, and I think we should stop debating if it's a dialect of one or the other and just appreciate it for what it is: a metaphorical bridge between our languages

    I speak Belarusian and Polish as L1 (I grew up in Belarusian speaking family in Poland) and Ukrainian as L2. It's not my first contact with Polachian, but I never learned it. I can fully understand it and clearly see a lot of Belarusian, Ukrainian and some Polish-influenced features, so it's defiantly not just a dialect of neither of them. Phonetics of this language is quite unique (I've heard it spoken), not just a mix of Belarusian, Ukrainian and Polish sounds. Also, native speakers tend to call that it just "svoja mova" ("our own language"). Thanks for the video.

Lower Sorbian appears to be much more influenced by German, both in phonology, vocabulary and a little bit in grammar, whilst Upper Sorbian remains more conservative in comparison.

    As a native Czech speaker I am quite surprised that Podlachian is for me quite good understandable, even it is more close to Belarusian/Ukrainian. A lot of words are basically identical like in current Czech, even those that I thought were typical only for Czech. On the other hand, in Polabian it was quite difficult for me to decipher at least a few words, the Germanic influence is really strong here. It's sad that today nobody actively speaks Polabian, it would be interesting to see the development of this language. Perhaps it would be more understandable to us today.

The only incomprehensible word in the text is poziomki (strawberries), which is borrowed from Polish, although even it is present in the western dialects of the Ukrainian language. It seems to me that the given text is too much cleaned of borrowings from the Polish language. When I watched a videos with people who speak this dialect of Belarusian and Ukrainian, there were more polonisms. In general, some dialects of the Ukrainian language, which have many borrowings from other languages, are less clear to me than this text

    *Belarusian Cyrillic (Taraškievica):* Балоты расьцягваліся паміж Плёскамі і Кнарозамі. Мама мне расказвала, што калісь тудэю было вельмі цяжка прайсьці, можна было праваліцца ў багну і ўжо ня вылезьці. Потым там была такая пяшчаная дарога, але калі моцна дажджыла, то яе затоплівала. Цяпер выгодна, залілі асфальт, праедзеш і пройдзеш сухою нагою. І ё там лес, у каторым растуць пазёмкі. Я калісь намовіла адну каляжанку з Плёскаў і мы пайшлі туды назьбіраць пазёмкаў. Наесьціся мы наеліся, але дадому нічога не прынесьлі. Аднак маці Ірэнкі ўжо бегала па сялу і шукала дачку, бо нас даволі доўга не было. І пасьля доўга не дазваляла нам разам бавіцца. Гаварыла, што той Галінцы дурныя думкі ў галаву прыходзяць, бо, вядома, яна з горада. А мая бабуля нават увагі не зьвярнула на тое, што яе ўнучка кудысь прапала і паўдня не была дома. *Belarusian Łacinka:* Bałoty raściahvalisia pamiž Ploskami i Knarozami. Mama mnie raskazvała, što kaliś tudeju było vielmi ciažka prajści, možna było pravalicca ŭ bahnu i ŭžo nia vyleźci. Potym tam była takaja piaščanaja daroha, ale kali mocna daždžyła, to jaje zatoplivała. Ciapier vyhodna, zalili asfalt, prajedzieš i projdzieš suchoju nahoju. I jo tam les, u katorym rastuć paziomki.

Havaryła, što toj Halincy durnyja dumki ŭ hałavu prychodziać, bo, viadoma, jana z horada. A maja babula navat uvahi nie źviarnuła na toje, što jaje ŭnučka kudyś prapała i paŭdnia nie była doma. The vocabulary is almost all Belarusian, but the spelling of words is not exactly the same due to apparent phonetic differences. I had to change the words "Ono" (it didn't fit grammatically) and "miesta" (to "horad").
