Great job! This video is amazing!!! I spend 8 months in Croatia last year as part of my exchange program. I started picking up the language and when I was travelling in the area, I remember how much I could pick up when we got to Bratislava!

"Kričati" is also word in Croatian Kaikavian dialect, and there is in standard language word "krik!" (scream!). In Croatian dialect is: "Vsi su na njega kričali, ali on je bil nevin." Between Slovakia and Croatia today is Hungary, but before Hungarians (Magjars) came cca. year 900 AD, there also lived Slavic people. It is visible in similarity of country names: Slovaks call their country in their own language: Slovensko, which is similar to the name of country Slovenia and to the name of Slavonia, what is province in northern part of Croatia.

Now onto the discussion. Standard Croatian or Shtokavian is the dialect of which the Standard Croatian, Serbian, Montenegrin and Bosnian languages are based on and are mostly mutually intelligible. The term Serbo-Croatian was a political idea created in the 50s to try to unite the diverse but similar peoples of the region, but failed miserably. Fact is Croatians always called their language Croatian and Serbs called their language Serbian, sometimes calling it “our language” or simply “Slavenski” or Slavic. During Yugo Tito and his crew worked hard to fuse the 2 languages usually at the expense of Croatian words. However, the Croatian macrolanguage has dialects spoken by over 25 percent of the population that Standard Croatian (Štokavian) and especially Serbians cannot understand. For instance, Čakavian Croatian which most Croats spoke before the Ottoman invasion 500 years ago is mostly not intelligible with Standard Croatian. It consists of at least four major dialects, Ekavian Chakavian, spoken on the Istrian Peninsula, Ikavian Chakavian, spoken in southwestern Istria, the islands of Brač, Hvar, Vis, Korčula, and Šolta, the Pelješac Peninsula, the Dalmatian coast at Zadar, the outskirts of Split and inland at Gacka, Middle Chakavian, which is Ikavian-Ekavian transitional, and Ijekavian Chakavian, spoken at the far southern end of the Chakavian language area on Lastovo Island, Janjina on the Pelješac Peninsula, and Bigova in the far south near the border with Montenegro. Ekavian Chakavian has two branches - Buzet and Northern Chakavian. Buzet is actually transitional between Slovenian and Kajkavian. It was formerly thought to be a Slovenian dialect, but some now think it is more properly a Kajkavian dialect. There are some dialects around Buzet that seem to be the remains of old Kajkavian-Chakavian transitional dialects (Jembrigh 2014). Ikavian Chakavian has two branches - Southwestern Istrian and Southern Chakavian. The latter is heavily mixed with Shtokavian. Čakavian differs from the other nearby Slavic lects spoken in the country due to the presence of many Italian words. Chakavian actually has a written heritage and was considered the first “Hrvatski” language but it was mostly written down long ago. Writing in Chakavian started very early in the Middle Ages and began to slow down in the 1500’s when writing in Kajkavian began to rise. However, Chakavian magazines are published even today. Although Chakavian is clearly a separate language from Shtokavian Croatian, in Croatia it is said that there is only one Croatian language, and that is all Croatian dialects equally if very different. The idea is that the Kajkavian and Chakavian languages simply do not exist, though obviously they are both separate languages. Recently a Croatian linguist forwarded a proposal to formally recognize Chakavian as a separate language, but the famous Croatian Slavicist Radoslav Katičić argued with him about this and rejected the proposal on political, not linguistic grounds. This debate occurred only in Croatian linguistic circles, and the public knows nothing about it (Jembrigh 2014). Kajkavian Croatian, spoken in northwest Croatia and similar to Slovenian, is not intelligible with Standard Croatian. Kajkavian is fairly uniform across its speech area, whereas Chakavian is more diverse (Jembrigh 2014). In the 1500’s, Kajkavian began to be developed in a standard literary form. From the 1500’s to 1900, a large corpus of Kajkavian literature was written. Kajkavian was removed from public use after 1900, hence writing in the standard Kajkavian literary language was curtailed. Nevertheless, writing continues in various Kajkavian dialects which still retain some connection to the old literary language, although some of the lexicon and grammar are going out (Jembrigh 2014). Most Croatian linguists recognized Kajkavian as a separate language. However, any suggestions that Kajkavian is a separate language are censored on Croatian TV (Jembrigh 2014). Nevertheless, the ISO has recently accepted a proposal from the Kajkavian Renaissance Association to list the Kajkavian literary language written from the 1500’s-1900 as a recognized language with an ISO code of kjv. The literary language itself is no longer written, but works written in it are still used in public for instance in dramas and church masses (Jembrigh 2014). This is heartening, although Kajkavian as an existing spoken lect also needs to be recognized as a living language instead of a dialect of “Croatian,” whatever that word means. Furthermore, there is a dialect continuum between Kajkavian and Chakavian as there is between Kajkavian and Slovenian, and lects with a dialect continuum between them are always separate languages. There is an old Kajkavian-Chakavian dialect continuum of which little remains, although some of the old Kajkavian-Chakavian transitional dialects are still spoken. Kajkavian differs from the other Slavic lects spoken in Croatia in that is has many Hungarian and German loans Kajkavian is probably closer to Slovenian than it is to Chakavian. Nevertheless, although intelligibility with Slovenian is high, Kajkavian lacks full intelligibility with Slovenian. Yet there is a dialect continuum between Slovenian and Kajkavian. Kajkavian, especially the Zagorje Kajkavian dialect around Zagreb, is close to the Stajerska dialect of Slovene. However, leaving aside Kajkavian speakers, Croatians have poor intelligibility of Slovenian. Chakavian and Kajkavian have high, but not full mutual intelligibility. Intelligibility between the two is estimated at 82%. Molise Croatian is a Croatian language spoken in a few towns in Italy, such as Acquaviva Collecroce and two other towns. A different dialect is spoken in each town. Despite a lot of commonality between the dialects, the differences between them are significant. A koine is currently under development. The Croatians left Croatia and came to Italy from 1400-1500. The base of Molise Croatian was Shtokavian with an Ikavian accent and a heavy Chakavian base similar to what is now spoken as Southern Kajkavian Ikavian on the islands of Croatia. Molise Croatian is not intelligible with Standard Croatian. Burgenland Croatian, spoken in Austria, is intelligible to Croatian speakers in Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, but it has poor intelligibility with the Croatian spoken in Croatia. Therefore, for the moment, there are five separate Croatian languages: Shtokavian Croatian, Kajkavian Croatian, Chakavian Croatian, Molise Croatian, and Burgenland Croatian. Serbian is a macrolanguage made up to two languages: Shtokavian Serbian and Torlak or Gorlak Serbian. Shtokavian is simply the same Serbo-Croatian language that is also spoken in Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia. It forms a single tongue and is not several separate languages as many insist. The claim for separate languages is based more on politics than on linguistic science. Torlak Serbian is spoken in the south and southwest of Serbia and is transitional to Macedonian. It is not intelligible with Shtokavian, although this is controversial. Torlakians are often said to speak Bulgarian, but this is not exactly the case. More properly, their speech is best seen as closer to Macedonian than to Bulgarian or Serbo-Croatian. The Serbo-Croatian vocabulary in both Macedonian and Torlakian is very similar, stemming from the political changes of 1912; whereas these words have changed more in Bulgarian. The Torlakian spoken in the southeast is different. It is not really either Bulgarian or Serbo-Croatian, but instead it is best said that they are speaking a mixed Bulgarian-Serbo-Croatian language. In the towns of Pirot and Vranje, it cannot be said that they speak Serbo-Croatian; instead they speak this Bulgarian-Serbo-Croatian mixed speech. I

Serbo-Croatian was standardized on speaking leanguage of people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serbian and Croatian were different enough back in the day when "Illyrian" movement started and later grew into Serbo-Croatian movement where they had to come up with something where everyone can understand each other. In Bosnia everyone speaks the same with different accents naturally. Someone from furthest north understands someone from deepest south while same can't be said for your typical Dalmatinac and Zagorac for example. And while you and Serbs continue arguing if we are speaking Serb or Croatian we will continue speaking the way we have for hundreds of years before your language became standardized into what we all speak today.

Aboleo80 Actually not,Croats have diffrent language then Serbs,in Serbian language there are more then 10,000 Turkish words,they ude cyrillic alphabet and for English or any other language they write like it is pronounced,for example Croats for Chicago,Miami or New York write in original English,while Serbs write like they prounance it Čikago,Majami and Nju Jork! In Bosnia and Herzegovina we speak Croatian,especially us Bosnians use ikavian dialect,like Dalmatians. Muslims and Serbs in Bosnia are just newcomers,they came with Turks and during Yugoslav era,when in 1945 Bosnia and Herzegovina was separated by Communist regime from Croatia,and new socialist republic was formed,so commies colonised more then 200,000 Sanjaklies(Muslims) and hundreds of thousands Serbians,after mass scale genocide of hundreds of thousands of Croats in Bleiburg and Cross Road,done by Communists! Croatian language is completly separate language from Serbian,and Bosnian doesn't exist,same as Herzegovian language doesn't exist,because Herzegovians and we Bosnians speak Croatian.

I am Polish and love both Slovaks and Croats. Well littlebit closer to Croats due to Catholic tradition. Most of the Worda I understood. Slovakian language is very close to old Polish dialect. For example "blue cabbage" we will say "modra kapusta", however blue in general is "niebieski" (I don't know where the mamę came from but Inknow in Czech this is "nebeski"). What is also unique in Polish language is that we use a lot of "w". For example Slovakian will say "Pavel" and we will say "Paweł". And oh yeah for the ones that didn't know Slavic people don't write only cyrylic. Slavic nations also do use latin alphabet.

Nieczerwony (in Croatian "nije crveni"), we use modra for blue as well, but not as often as plava which is the standard word for blue. Modra is used when you want to add some poetic or literary style, while plava is every day word. There are cases of using nebeskomodra or nebeskoplava, but that relates only to particular shade of blue (skyblue/celeste). I agree that there is lot of closeness between Poles and Croats, in the past and today as well and Polish people is always on the top of the list of peoples Croats like.

Bahador Alast, it's not very difficult actually but you need to know some tricks. Baltic and Slavic languages in many cases differently process K, H S, Sh transitions. For example, Ukr. viHor_ "whirlwind" goes to Lith. vieSula(s). Some word may contain both K and S - and they could be all vice versa in both languages ;) Also Lithuanian usually does not have AN ---> U (which exists in some Slavic languges): Lith. ANtina(s) "male duck" = Rus. Utinyi "duck (adj.)", Utionok_ ("duck cub"). And finally Lithuanian is strongly A-shifted (like Sanskrit) - in Slavic we usually have O/Y/_ in many such positions: Lith. sApnas ("a dream") = Rus. za-sYpaniie ("falling into dream, starting to sleep"), u-sOpshii ("asleep")

15:10 it should be "pravila igre su jednostavna", not "jednostavne." I'm hooked on these videos.

I think, the Slovak women comen from Záhorie (region in Slovakia). He spoke with kinda dialect like the Záhorie dialect. The Slovak language are more softer. For example, she said "Ked cem ist babke, idem na vlak." the wole sentence are just with the hard letters. In "normal" Slovak it will be "Keď chcem ísť k babke, idem na vlak." and in the word "idem" the "d" is soft, cause the vowels "e, i" makes the letters "d,t,n,l" softer. Actually, the Slovak language is the most "softer" Slavic language (almost in all words is soft letter :D ).

I have seen very many of videos like these when slavic languages compares to other slavic languages. And as a person that not speak any slavic language (swedish is my language) i see very many similarities. Especially when just using word for word and not whole sentences. And also all slavic languages have to us forignes very extremly similar sounds wich makes us think slavic languages are like 99% similar😂 But for me when i have looked at slavic languages often it’s easy to see that the words comes from the same root. Sometimes it is a vowel, sometimes some letters, somtimes just pronunciation or spelling... sometimes half of the word is what tells it have the same roots... and i think that is something you not always see🤔 Sometimes you have the same words but you use them in different situasions or so🤔 But the slavic people i know says that... well they understand a lot of eachother but not as much as us foringers think. But what i think is that slavic languages in general sounds very similar to eachother while for example romance languages or germanic languages you allways hear the differense even though you don’t know anything about the languages.

Seems Betka is somewhere from the region around west Slovak town Sered'. They are famous for absence of soft sounds, pronouncing extremely hard each word. Official Slovak language sounds much more softer

The last Croation sentence was for pretty easy for true Slovak speaker (Pravidlá hry sú jednoznačné or Game rules are straightforward). Word IGRA (a game) is not used in official Slovak but IHRA or its verb form IHRAŤ (to play) can be used in some parts of Slovakia

It's a wonderful thing is language. Thank you for that.

There are several local dialects in Croatiam language, and the one from North-West of Croatia is the most similar to most of non-South Slavic languages. I saw Marko here and in the episode vs the Russian language. It's obvious that he's not from North-West of Croatia, since in both of these episodes he failed to understand some words and phrases that any person from, say, Čakovec, Varaždin or Krapina would understand with no problem at all.

It's funny how 'hra' and 'igra' sound different, but for my Polish ear both are very similar to Polish 'gra':) Plus, we normally say 'grać' but we have verb 'igrać' which means 'to play' but in a negative way, more like 'to tease'.

I did not know for the longest time why Croatian language sounds more familiar to me, a Russian speaker, than Serbian.

I don’t think that that’s the main reason. Thing is - Croatian went through a puritan phase in the 19th/20th century and tried to ‘expel’ as many non-Slavic loanwords as possible. Serbia didn’t have that. Even today Croatian is trying to resist foreign loanwords from infiltrating our language, but it is hard due to how influential English is.

Isn't the apostrophe in plavať and učiteľ supposed to indicate palatalization of a consonant? Because that girl pronounced those consonants quite hard so it is not clear to me what is the role of the apostophe then.

In west Slavic languages they kind of drop letter "i" in the beginning of some words. In Polish, for example, they say gra for igra(game), or mam for imam(I have). In Czech/Slovak languages they swap "g" with "h" in some words so their word for igra is hra which kind of make sense when you put it that way.
