What Serbian sounds like to foreigners/kako srpski jezik zvuči strancima

I asked some Canadian students what Serbian sounds like to them. I started by playing them the audio from the a of a Serbian TV show. Then I asked them to guess which language was in the sample played to them. After a few guesses I gave them visual clues from the video so they could see the script and ethnicity of the people in the sample video.
Most of them thought it was one of the romance languages, like Spanish or Italian. In fact, I also thought the first few seconds of the clip sounded like a romance language.
Finally, I asked them to imitate what they have heard for native Serbian speakers to hear what their language sounds like to foreigners. This segment took some convincing because the subjects did not want to offend anyone or seem racist. Therefore please do not blame them if you are offended, I asked them to do it and most of them did it reluctantly.
I used "Miljana Gavrilović - Tačno 9 (4.3.2014)" as the sample.

    I don't think he meant geographically but as a language group, which is Slavic for all of them. So, in comparison to answers like "Spanish", it was close. I'm Slavic as well and if they would hear my language as Russian I'd tell them they're close eventhough I'm Sovenian, (and Slovenia is quite far from Russia).

    schmucker1989 Well, Serbian is not any closer to Polish, Czech or Slovak than it is to Russian. If you consider a linguistic division, Serbian (IMHO more properly Serbo-Croatian or Croat-Serbian, whereas Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin are rather political categories) is Southern Slavic language, together with Slovenian, Macedonian and Bulgarian. On the other hand, if you would like to know who do we understand better of those listed above, my impression is - Russian, then Slovak, then Polish and then Czech (for Czech I'm quite certain that it is the most difficult to catch).

    1:42 that girl said "veći prostor" perfectly! Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian is almost identical and not an easy language to learn. Partially because of certain sounds that we use like Ć, Đ, Ž and most vicious of them all sound "Lj". On top of that, grammar is full of exceptions. The only easy part of our language is writing - it is without any exceptions and each character bears same sound regardless of it's position in the word. Also, combination of characters do not affect sound of the character as it is typical for almost all Western spelling.

    Not even as dialects. There are several dialects within Serbian language, yet it is probably the most homogenous language in Europe. The dialects have nothing to do with quasi-ethnic borders of former Yugoslavia. For example, the "East Herzegovinian" dialect, which is the foundation of Serbian language (Just as the Moscovian dialect is for example, the foundation of Russian language) is found in Herzegovina, Eastern Bosnia, Semberija, entire Krajina, Machva, Western Serbia and most of Montenegro. Serbian language is spoken by over 20 million people. The foundations and rules of the modern Serbian language have been formed by Vuk Karadzich, and the "Croatian" and "Bosniak", so-called "languages" are merely a political division of the Serbian language, and have nothing to do with linguistics. It is their own schizofrenia and personality disorder that they will claim they speak a completely different language, just because they hate Serbs so much, and the fact that they too are Serbs and speak Serbian. A unique situation in the World. You don't see the Irish of Americans or Australians call English language "Irish", "Australian" or "American", don't you?

    Tradition, harmony, construction зашто мислиш да су баш те речи препознали као шпанске? Видиш да су у енглеском сличне. Добро хармонија је из грчког. Англосаксонцима је сваки језик који има чисте вокале звучи на шпански јер њега имају прилике да слушају у непосредној близини.

Samo mislim da bi srpski studenti pogodili 90% jezika bar sa sjeverne hemisfere! Srpski je veoma težak ali kad se nauči svi ostali jezici su laki! Pozdrav! Congratulations on the attachment, I know it's difficult to guess other people's language, I'm so funny when I hear people that are struggling with pronunciation. Very interesting favor of congratulations. I just think that Serbian students hit 90% of the language bar on the northern hemisphere! Serbian is very difficult but when you learn any other languages are easier!

    Marija Grujicic They are not "very very" similar, Spanish and Italian are much more similar to each other. I know because I *don't* speak Russian and I can understand only bits of it, yet I can understand Italian from knowledge of Spanish and French. If they were as similar as you say, I would've understood at least over half of it. The one language actually very very similar to Serb-Croat is Macedonian. Also, there is nothing offensive about Russian language or Russia, what is offensive are presumptions based on ignorance.

Maybe some similar, very few of them with the same meaning even if similiar. And if she isn't good with languages, that doesn't mean she should be a waitress... Maybe she is good in math, and she shits on your language knowledge? Chill out. I wouldn't find it correct if he tried to speak it as Russian. So what? You wanna say that you are the only Serbian person who speaks Russian and is good with languages and that only your opinnion counts?

    Our language, especially letters and stuff, was modified from old Russian, so yeah, you wouldn't be wrong if you are imitating Serbian like Russian. :) It was modified a lot tho, the most things that got hit was grammar, some new letters were introduced and the rule that I think not even one language in the World has that's one letter on Serbian represents one short pronunciation, which means you don't pronounce letters in words so they sound like two letter parts but each letter is singularly sounding. Example of multi letter pronunciations in English: "A" is pronounced as "EY", or "B" letter sounds like: "Bee", well in our language there aren't any letters that sounds like any multi-letter words. They are like chopped off sort of speaking. Also grammar is very complex, one of the most complex grammars in the World, it's one of the hardest languages to learn along with Chinese for example. It's because we change our words accordingly to many stuff, in sentences... We have something that exists in German for example, which is "gender" of words, so if word is kinda "womanish" then we add some letter(s) to it, and if it's "man-ish" then some other letter(s), and if it belongs to "it" sort of speaking group, then some other letter(s) are added, that rule especially counts for verbs which then you can use without subject in sentence and it's understandable who is doing the thing that is explained by the sentence (it's not needed to say "he", "she" or "it" like in English or some other languages; it's enough to say like: "The car was washed" on Serbian, the verb "washed" can be modified in 3 ways so we know exactly if it was female, male or "it" person who washed it [if that's known], otherwise we say in general that "the car have been washed"). In German you have "die, der and das" for nouns. :) The other things about grammar is that there are a lot of rules and some exceptions... I'm glad that I've been born here, because this language makes us kind of unique and it's natural for us. :) Proud to be Serbian!

I am Serbian, and there are a lot of languages out there that I am not familiar with, but I'd never ever confuse them with such well-known languages as those two are. I mean, people, come on. You don't have to speak a language in order to recognize it. I don't speak Chinese for example, but I'd always recognize it. Same goes for almost all European languages, Japanese and Korean. Inform yourself, people. It's high time you did that, really.

    It's like Czech and Slovakian. Almost the same. Almost.

    Great topic :) And yes, people that speak Serbian don't mind when people say they sound Russian...any slavic language will sound similar =so all good :) Serbian language , I must add is also known as : Serbo- Croatian language, Croatian language and Bosnian language...the main difference is in dialect and , it is something like American English / Australian English / Irish English and British english.. good to know...for all of those who study Serbian , they will be understood in Bosnia and Croatia as well :))))
