| >having more words | |
| We have like 4 words for "tomato". | |
| But on a serious note, some words do have a lot of synonyms because every part of our country was under a different empire or kingdom for centuries so in some cases there is a German, Italian, Hungarian, Ottoman or Slavic word for one thing and most of them are still being used. Some are only understood by speakers of specific dialects but others are known throughout the country. | |
| The word for "towel", on the coast we use "šugaman" from Venetian, our standard word is "ručnik" and there is also an Ottoman word widespread in Bosnia (and Serbia?) that I don't know myself (if we count Serbo-Croatian as one language) | |

| If we talk about literature or the history of literature, grammar, dictionaries, and maybe even about dialects, Croatia itself is more significant and richer than all the other southern Slavs combined. Similar to Croatian football vs others, that's the difference. Czechs have better literature than Poles. Russians are number 1 in the world. | |

| Don't know shit about West and East Slavic so I'll just go with Croatian, our three dialects ever got ISO codes as three separate languages a year or two ago.

| Well, I don't know what ya mean by "the most advanced" but maybe want to know which Slavic language is the most complex or which is the closest to Proto-Slavic/ the most innovative vice verca. | |
| 1) My bet is that for all non-native speakers of Slavic languages Russian is perhaps the easiest. First of all, phonetics is very simple, all vowels in the standard Russian language are of the same length, there are no diphthongs, and Russian is a more or less literary language, that is, the statement that everything is written as it is heard is basically true for it. Here we should add a ton of Latin, Greek and French borrowings in scientific and related to art and politics vocabulary, which has already become international. The only real difficulty in Russian is the lack of fixed stress and the fact that this language is very context sensitive due to its rich vocabulary and morphology. The only real difficulty in Russian is the lack of fixed stress and the fact that this language is very context sensitive due to its rich vocabulary and morphology. all this is largely true for the Belarusian and Ukrainian. Bulgarian has not so complicated grammar but the lexicon is almost exclusively of Slavic origin, so he takes the second place I guess. All other languages have elaborate phonetics and grammar for non-native speakers of Slavic languages. But in Polish there are a lot more borrowings among the basic vocabulary, which can help a little. Serbo-Croatian also has a musical stress in addition, which is also challenging | |

| Why would you use double v instead of single v every single time? It doesn't make sense | |

| >>180613032 | |
| By that logic Arabic is the most advanced language | |
| --- 180621208 | |
| >>180621162 | |
| 2)if you're talking about archaism / innovation, then in terms of grammar it's hard to say. I would venture to suggest that Czech in this sense is the closest to Proto-Slavic, there are many, for example, verb forms that are not found in other Slavic languages. But Slovene has a dual number, it is the only Slavic language that has retained it. With phonetics, everything is even more complicated, Serbo-Croatian is the only one that has retained the musical character of the stress of the Proto-Slavic language, but on the other hand, Russian is the most archaic in the sense that it seems that in 80% of words of Slavic origin it retained the stress on the same syllable as 1500 years ago . As for phonetics, then probably Russian and Serbo-Croatian. In terms of vocabulary, I think Bulgarian | |

| Szlachta was basically a bunch of Roman-wannabes. They loved Latin more than Polish and they preferred to speak it instead. | |
| Not many know this, but in the 19th century Latin loanwords were actually strongly criticized. But we had no time for purism. We were more focused on the unification of Polish and we fought against linguistic differences between partitions. The "inteligencja" language was preserved on which the literary Polish was based on, thus we have so many Latin loanwords today. | |

| Is it possible to be this stupid? The center of civilization for over a thousand years was the Mediterranean, Croats settled in the very center of the failed empire, our cities were built on the ruins of ancient cities. The official language in Croatia was Latin until less than 200 years ago. However, we preserved our language and of course we use our names for the months. On the other hand, Russia is a frozen shithole on the periphery of the continent. With that population and those resources, you are the ones who should rule the world. If we had those numbers, we would have screwed America 50 years ago. And you, you have the anti mida touch: everything you touch turns into shit. | |

| There was a shift in pronunciation. Back then they were pronounced as "o", the spelling changed but the written language has remained the same. They could have fixed it during the language reform, but commies didn't bother with it. | |

| Both "soldat" and "żołnierz" come from Latin, though. If we want to better in this regard, we should use "wojak" just like Czechs do. | |

| oh and btw, word "fourty" in russian comes from a bunch of 40 sable pelts called "sorok" and | |
| "sorok sorakov" is a phrase to describe an unimaginably large quantity, which literally means "fourty fourties", so for Russians "1600" is totally abstract. | |
