WIKITONGUES: Nela speaking Croatian

The speaker(s) featured herein have not explicitly agreed to distribute this video for reuse. For inquiries on licensing this video, please contact hello@wikitongues.org.
This video was recorded by Cameron Willis and Daniel Bogre Udell in Connecticut, USA. Croatian is spoken in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and throughout neighboring Europe. Standard Croatian is based upon a dialect called Shtokavian, although other Croatian dialects exist, such as Chakavian, Kajkavian, and four Shtokavian varieties. An earlier form of Shtokavian served as the regional lingua franca, and thus has also become the basis for Standard Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin, which are closely related to Croatian. The term Serbo-Croatian used to describe all of the varieties under one umbrella, but is no longer encouraged due to its political implications, and it should be noted that the speakers themselves do not prefer this term. Croatian orthography was standardized during the Illyrian period of the 19th century in which a political, cultural, and linguistic movement sought to unite the various South Slavic communities. This had the effect of adopting an altered Latin script for Croatian literature. The matter of distinguishing Croatian dialects and languages today is complicated by political perceptions and national identities within the region, so that normal linguistic indicators such as lexical similarity and mutual intelligibility are not the primary drivers of language and dialect recognition.
Croatian is spoken by almost 6 million people around the world. It is a Western Slavic language belonging to the Indo-European language family."

    I agree but I believe this has to do with the Ideals being More Western and a closer connection between the West Slavs (Poles Czechs and Slovaks) Linguistically as they Use the Same Alphabet, as a Polak I often See Croatian as “Wow the Hrvati really Streamlined Polish Into a Much More Readable and Pronounceable Version, Sheer Genius like the Neck Tie.” Of Course it is a South Slavic Language, But Don’t Dare Make them Feel *Eastern European*(although some Serbs might Prefer more association with Russian) I think that is why her own video says West. To be Fair, Unless You are some Kind of Nationalist History Revisor, the Hrvati and Srbi came from Poland/Czechia/Slovakia/Western Ukraine, Sorbia is Still a Place in Poland and They are Directly Related Tribes from wayyyyyy back. We Were All Together Undo Samo’s Empire well over a thousand years ago, Svi slavenski jezici su doslovno braća, a mi smo braća narodi, ma koliko se međusobno borili! I would Call Croatian Comparatively More Western Slavic than Eastern. I also Argue that Ukrainian and Polish have Far More In Common than Ukrainian and Russian, but the Alphabet is Decidedly Eastern. That is where this Imaginary Line Actually Is, Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia, those are Eastern Europeans. Where this line is drawn is sheerly political on the home front, even more so for silly Americans who think everything Slavic is Eastern Europe, like, there’s a central, southern, northern etc Regions of this Continent. All I’m saying is; **Be Careful Not to Call A Croat “Eastern” European, I cannot promise your safety**

    She is from Zagreb. She definitely spent some time in Prague. She mentions 6 weeks, but I'm not sure what this period refers to. She attended an international school, where there were people from all over the world. She was surrounded by people, but what kind of people? Maybe native speakers of the languages she was learning. She learned German, Czech, English. She says something about conducting interviews on FB. I guess the idea is to interview the students of the school, so that all the students can get to know each other through these interviews. The word "school" comes up a lot. Many words sound familiar to my Polish ears. Ja (I), sześć tygodni (six weeks), myślę (I think), nauczyła się (she learned), szkoła (school), była (she was), okrążona (surrounded), ludzie (people), dziesięć godzin (ten hours), osobny (separate, another), poznać (to meet, to learn), nie znam (I don't know), chorwacki, niemiecki, czeski, angielski (Croatian, German, Czech, English), można się paru języków nauczyć (you can learn a few languages), z całego świata (from all over the world), prycza (false friend probably, In Polish, it's a primitive bed, used, for example, in prisons, labor camps and concentration camps), tylko (only), projekty (projects), ona by ich pytała skąd są (she would ask them where they were from), cały (whole), drugi (second, the other one), popularności (popularity), siostra (sister), córa (daughter), chciała (she wanted), konflikt (conflict), reprezentacja (representation, pronunciation the same as in Polish), może (maybe, can).

    Having read some of the comments below, I feel there are some things that need clarified. From a linguistic perspective, Croatian and Serbian are indeed (parts of) a single language, which some call 'Serbo-Croatian', others 'BCMS' (i.e. Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian [in alphabetical order, just in case!]), etc. This language has a whole lot of different dialects, some of which are very similar to each other, while others are impenetrable to outsiders, so those who didn't grow up in the area might need an interpreter. However, the four standard varieties (i.e. Bosniak, Croatian, Serbian and Montenegrin) are all based on the same dialect group, which linguists refer to as 'Neo-Štokavian' (novoštokavski), so no wonder they're 99% mutually intelligible - just as many colloquial varieties that are spoken in the four countries are. When people talk about a particular variety or dialect of 'Serbo-Croatian' or 'BCMS', they use one of the four national names depending on what nationality its speakers are. So to make things simple, the varieties spoken by Croats are Croatian, those that are spoken by Serbs are Serbian, etc. The differences between them can be very small or very large. Additionally, we can't use one single *national* name for the whole language because: (1) given the fairly recent history of the area, it's clear a lot of people wouldn't like that; (2) unlike English, which was orignally spoken in England and by the English, 'Serbo-Croatian' has always been spoken by various ethnic groups. In any case, Nela has an obvious Zagreb accent so that's Croatian. It's as simple as that. That's some kind of sub-standard variety too, so it's completely intelligible to any native BCMS speaker, regardless of their nationality.

    @@robloxfootballassociation2825 I mean, it is a fact that Croatian and Polish aren't mutually intelligible, or at least not very much if at all, which in turn makes people like you question my success in understanding the Croatian woman from a Pole's account. The main obstacle in mutual intelligibility between these two languages is the fairly distinct vocabulary borrowed from different cultural backgrounds many centuries ago - the Poles, who are West Slavic members of the Slavic ethnic group, were greatly influenced by Germanic-speaking peoples, namely Germans for that matter, whereas, Croats, having a South Slavic heritage, underwent Ottoman invasion a lot of during their arrival to the Balkan peninsula which made them prone to Turkish influence. So to sum it up, Polish consists of a great number of German loanwords and Croatian of Turkish ones which clearly shows the difference between the two languages and where their influences came from exactly to ultimately make mutual intelligibility fall between them to an exceptionally high degree. I visited Croatia in 2015 before learning Croatian and found it extremely difficult to understand the locals there when they spoke to each other in their native tongue, being able to only pick up basic words or phrases in speech, as opposed to my greater understanding of Czech and Slovak (West Slavic members) when visiting the Czech Republic and Slovakia way before Croatia.

    I would say people from Zagreb, like this girl, are pretty easy to understand. They pronounce more or less all the letters. Croats from southern Croatia and Croats from Bosnia and Herzegovina often shorten their sentences which may be hard to understand for foreigners. For example the phrase "Hoćeš li ići?" becomes "oš ić?" which can even turn into "šić?". However people from these regions are closer to the standard Croatian accent when it comes to knowinf which syllable to put the accent on etc. but I think for a foreigner it is easier to hear someone from Zagreb.

    "Nakon opće osude toga teksta bilo bi dobro da se zapitaju je li moguće da je Hrvatska baš toliko zadojena slijepim nacionalizmom zbog kojega Hrvati ne žele priznati da govore istim jezikom kao i Srbi, ili je, naprotiv, samostalnost standardnoga hrvatskoga jezika Hrvatima simbolički i identitetski važna, ma koliko se on malo strukturalno razlikovao od srpskoga. Mislim da reakcije na Deklaraciju kojima svjedočimo u Hrvatskoj pokazuje upravo da je ovo drugo slučaj: Hrvatima je, za razliku od mnogih drugih naroda (primjerice Švicaraca, Amerikanaca, Škota), njihov jezik vrlo važan činilac nacionalnog identiteta, ma koliko taj jezik bio sličan nekom drugom jeziku ili jezicima. Autorima Deklaracije bilo bi pametno da tu činjenicu jednostavno prihvate, umjesto da je pseudoznanstvenim i ideološki pristranim “argumentima” nastoje oboriti" (Ranko Matasović, Glas Slavonije).
