I had a friend as a kid whose parents emigrated from Yugoslavia (it was 80s, I was at most 10, so don’t know if Serbian, Croatian, etc). Mom did the same thing, had a nice little salon in their basement.

I feel as if Polish, Serbian, Croatian, etcetera, consonant-heavy languages and consonant-cluster-heavy languages would, as a whole, be very difficult for the vowel-loving speakers of Kirrhin, and those languages evolved from it. 🧵

Congratulations, you survived Phonemes Day! But we're still not done establishing the basic flavor of your conlang.
Today, tell me which sounds (consonants, vowels, phoneme combos) are rare or never used in this language, or would be hard for native speakers to pronounce.

This is what happens when countries pretend that one language is three languages. Serbian, Croatian, and Montenegran are three dialects of the same language. Linguists agree. Unlike Russian, Ukrainian, & Belarusian, which are separate languages.

Normalizing talk of annihilation in our nuclear age is neither normal nor limited to Trump, and it risks taking on a life of its own
Make Threats of Annihilation Taboo Again
Visiting mixed villages in former Yugoslavia before it careened toward its violent breakup in 1992, I spoke to neighbors who dismissed the idea of a coming war as simply unimaginable. But as each tuned in to the increasingly nationalistic TV stations of their respective Serbian or Croatian capitals, they were bombarded by commentary posing as news that recalled historical wrongs and alleged plots for coming atrocities. Steeped in these bilious alternative realties, the neighbors stopped talking.

Reminds me of the time when I played the Serbian tapes in the Croatian programme shortly after they split the service. They were numbered and written the same and it was pre 4am buck in the canteen so how could I have known?

I'm of Serbian descent and years ago what playing hoops with a Croatian guy and dished to him behind the back near the hoop. He asked me after the game how I knew to pass and I said "When a Serb aims at a Croat, best not miss"
We later drank ourselves into a stupor and laughed about it. We won.

Yes I did. I can read serbian cyrillic with no problems. It's easy since serbian and croatian are 95% the same language. Therefore, I can read ukrainian cyrillic too, but I do have problems with understanding the words since there a lot more difference between languages.

Croatians sometimes do it too.
