As I Czech, I only understand Slovak (which is almost the same) and a little bit of Polish. Other languages I understand only few words but not the entire meaning. However, all these languages are beautiful and I love Slavic people, culture and countries. Hopely one day, we will live in peace as brothers.
Merlion, one group in order how close are: Slovenian, Slovak +Chech. Next to this group are Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrian. Next : Macedonian and Bulgarian. Last group and different to above is Russian, Ukrainen and Belorussian. Polish by itself but group 3, polish is close to group 1.
Stalker, you are not wrong, Slovenian can be a bridge connector between Slovakian& Chehz by the accent and prenaunsation and over 20 % the words are Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian & Montenegrian. 10% Macedonian&Bulgarian.
I'm Russian, and when I listened Serbian language, I swear there were no words I could understand))) the most language I could understand was Belarusian, then Ukrainian, something from Macedonian and Bulgarian (near 10% maybe)
@@scorpiored I am serbian from Germany and I was Born in Germany and i understood 100% of what the serbian Woman said in this video. she has a Belgrade accent and as a newsreader she has to say the words clearly and distinctly. you were probably born in the US and maybe they only spoke English to you at home. my parents only spoke Serbian to me at home. I've noticed that in the US the second generation can't speak Serbian well and the third generation can hardly speak it. I have Family in the US so I know this. Pozdrav
@@scorpiored I am Russian here, lived my whole life in Germany, my parents only spoke Russian to me. When I lived with my parents, my Russian was not so good, I was stuttering, couldn't understand much sometimes too, or just couldn't focus enough etc, (I don't know the exact reasons for it). But as I moved out, my Russian is better than ever, my stuttering disappeared, my accent (slightly German, but mostly Ukrainian, because my grandfather spoke Ukrainian as his mother tongue and my father picked up his accent in Russian and so I picked up his) improved. My German accent completely disappeared actually and in general my overall vocabulay enhanced, got way bigger and my overall understanding and speaking got better (still living in a non Russian speaking country, with no one around speaking russian) . So maybe it will change.

Yes, it is paradox but as you can see many ex.sssr write in their languages (they are weak in english). Anyway english is common language everywhere and in best case slavic people skeak or understand max. 2-3 slavic languages or usually only their native lang. and that is reason why all of us write in english on this page.

As a Czech Cuban, that can speak Czech and a little bit of Spanish, I can say that Romance Languages and Slavic Languages are very different but both beautiful💕🇨🇿🇨🇺
Spanish is the most beautiful language, I don't know, when I hear some lady speak Spanish, I fall in love with her, because I think Spanish language was created by angels only for women.

I read somewhere that Polish is closer to Czech, but spoken Slovakian is tiny bit easier to understand. If I'm not mistaken all west slavs spoke dialects of the same language around 500-600 years ago.

Speaking a Slavic language is like a cheat code for life. you could fairly easily pick up a few slav languages in a year or two and when people ask how many languages you speak you just be like “6-7, maybe 8…” mic drop😁
Yeah it's the same feeling with Latin languages if a latin language is your mother tongue or when you learn one of them it's a lot easier to understand and learn the others I hope I can learn another Slavic language more easily after I get better at my first one
As a person who only speaks Swedish and English these languages sound so incredibly beautiful and make my tongue want to bleed 😂😂 how do you do that?! I can’t even make half of those sounds.
As a Czech person i can say that every single slavic language is extremely confusing... Its all sounds the same but totally different at the same time xD i feel like at some moment i understand everything and than i realize i have no idea what they are talking about 🤣
As a Serb, I couldn’t understand Russian, Ukrainian and Belarus. I could understand a bit of Polish, Czech and Slovakian. Pretty good idea of what they are talking about in Bulgarian, Slovenian and Macedonian. And 100% understood Croatian and Bosnian.
I do understand some parts of west Slavic but east Slavic is almost incomprehensible to me. Furthermore, I tell no difference among Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian languages . Greetings from Serbia.
Well...portugese sounds kinde of soft.....and slavic langueges should have that...softnes....if speaking out of slangs But, there is clear diferenties....portugese sounds like romanic language/easy to sing on, goes fluently, nice rhitm..romantic sound, like speaking about love, flowers, vines, seas ,skays....cute animals Huh...give my best for the moment All the best from Cr🌞atia 😊👍🍀🙌⛱🎉🎶
@@callmedave1280 That's inaccurate lol Spanish and Portuguese are different...despite them being similar, they are clearly distinct languages..Also, Portuguese developed before Spanish (Castilian), which is the original Spanish variety
I’m Indonesian but I always wished I was born in one of Slavic countries. I think your languages are beautiful :) Currently I’m learning Polish and Czech language, and even though they are quite difficult for me, I still love to learn them!
I'm Serbian and I would love to hear my language without understanding it, just so I could hear what other people who can't understand it hear.. if you get me 🤣

Being slavic in an English speaking country and meeting another slav, no matter what country they're from, and then speaking in your native languages and successfully communicating is just so satisfying and fulfilling that it's on a whole new level. 🥰🇵🇱
As a Portuguese who is learning Polish and Croatian right now, Polish was the language in which I understood the most in this video because I'm currently in the A2.1 level of it here in my faculty and it's the Slavic language I've been with the most contact as of late. I also understood the number "cetirdeset" in the Croatian snippet and I also understood the number 112 in the Slovak one because it's very similar to how it sounds in Croatian. I also understood some words in Russian. All these languages are beautiful, by the way. The Slavs are great people! Much love from Portugal! ❤
If you learning croatian you automaticly can understand serbian, bosnian and montenegran because this is actualy all the same languague, just like english in U.K. USA and Australia. Politic make them different languagues of them, not science, lol.
Slavs watching this video: I wonder how much I will understand Me, a Hungarian watching the video: What are they talking about, and why didn't I hear kurva?
Me too. almost everything in any Slavic language when it is written. Becouse you can recognise root of the words, and you are not confused with pronounciation
I like this type of videos. ☺️ As a Serbian, I can understand 100% of Croatian and Bosnian, 80% of Macedonian and Slovenian, 60% of Bulgarian and Slovakian, and less then 50% of other Slavic languages. Greetings from Sremski Karlovci!

A native Czech speaker here - the Czech clip is quite unique as well. The presenter is actually speaking about a breaking point in the covid-19 epidemic in Czechia, in particular about the very first case of infection where it was unclear where and when the person got infected (which was really sinister news back then because it was precisely that kind of situation that had signified the start of an uncontrollable spreading of the virus in other countries). What was even more sinister was the fact that the man was a taxi driver in Prague (= the capital) so that he had come in contact with a LOT of people before he was diagnosed with covid and it eventually proved too difficult to trace them all in time. His case is pretty well known over here now because things rather quickly went downhill from that particular moment on - I guess that many Czechs associate the taxi driver's case with the beginning of the first wave of the coronavirus epidemic in Czechia. He also became one of the first Czech patients with covid to be given remdesivir. But as far as I know, he eventually made it and successfully recovered :)
@@miaow8670 I did understand a few words so I guessed it was about Covid hahaha Anyway thanks for explaining ;) Czech is one of my fav Slavic languages heheh (although my native is Serbian)
As a Slovak i definetly understand czech and for my surprise i understand polish too even though i dont know how to speak Polish. Love from Slovakia to all of the countries out there!!!!!😁🙂

@@YO-ch8qn Mersi frumos de lectie, prostii deja stiam, dar nu strica indiferent. Cat despre secretul la vodca, nu cred ca ne trebuie ca rachiul e mai bun, dar am sa le dau secretul nostru, doar pentru ca rusii imi sunt simpatici, la fel ca ceilalti slavi. Am auzit de la mai multi moldoveni ca in partea de est la Moldova mai mult se vorbeste rusa, cum sunt acolo priviti romanii ?
@@Vlad_-_-_ Stiu, ca in romania este tinutul secuiesc unde traiesc numai maghiarii si nu stiu nici o boaba in romana. Aici la fel. Avem o regiune separatista Transnistria unde-s numai rusofoni si DELOC nu stiu romana, deloc.Dar cei, care o stiu macar cumva, au un dictionar foarte slab, au accent specific (teribil) si folosesc multe rusisme cand nu stiu vreo-un cuvant in romana. La scoala se preda si romana, dar o numesc limba moldoveneasca si folosesc grafa chirilica. SUPER STRANGE AND WILD) M-am nascut acolo,in orasul Bender. Nu imi place acolo.Mai citeste oleaca in wiki ceva despre Transnistria si o sa ma intelegi. Stiu limba pentru ca mamica mea e din sudul Moldovei, din satul Slobozia mare langa granita, 10 km de la Galati. E invatatoarea de limba romana ---> stiu limba din copilarie si comunic cand vin acasa in romana numai cu ea. Gradinita si scoala cum ai inteles am avut-o in rusa. Facultatea o fac in romana, cam asa
@@YO-ch8qn Aha, dar Transistria e separata de Moldova din cate stiu, nu ? Si acolo e majoritatea populata de slavi. E de asteptat sa nu vorbeasca prea multa romana. Cat despre comunitatile de unguri sau secui sau alte natii la noi in tara, da sunt destui care nu vorbesc romana, dar majoritatea traind aici invata si o stiu. Orisicum, pe mine nu ma deranjeaza cu nimic, nici ca traiesc aici, nici ca nu stiu romana. Sincer sa fiu, mereu m-a deranjat la romani faptul unii din noi vorbesc de rau pe rusi. De parca rusul de rand are vreo vina pentru ce au facut comunistii. Ridicol. Si asta nu numai la noi. De ce oare ?
@@Vlad_-_-_ Frate n-am nimic cu rusi ci cu guvernul rus. 1500 militari rusi timp de 30 ani stau aici. cam nu e prea normal. Sa stii, ca in transnistria oamenii sunt pro-rusi si anti-romani, mama-mama. Nu stiu cum asa s-a primit. Din timpurile razboiului, din timpurile Antonescu, nu stiu. Cand vorba merge despre germani - okay, oameni buni,straduitori etc, cand intrebi despre romani - dusmanii nr.1. Le intrebi - de ce? Iti spun despre 1939-1945, le reamintesti despre germania si de ce ei-s acum okay dar romanii nu si... tacere. *Logica a parasit chat-ul* Si apoi unii dintre ei doresc redobandirea cetatenie romane si vor pasaportul UE. depun juramantul dar le doare in pula de romania si urasc pe orice roman.

Awesome thing is that Czechs and Slovaks understand each other perfectly (some words are different, but we know them). It's like the same language, but dialects.
There are indeed dialectical continuums between them, just like between Dutch and German, but Czech and Slovak have been distinctive languages since at least the 13th century. They exhibit different phonemes, orthography and grammar, they just remain closely intelligible.
@lukebruce5234 Thrm being closer still doesn't change that they are seperate languages. If you want a closer comparison, then see Norwegian and Danish. Noone argues they aren't their own languages either.
@@lukebruce5234 You obviously have no knowledge of Norwegian or Danish to claim that. Czech and Slovak is far more different than they. Moreover, Norwegian, Danish and Swedish diverged even later than Czech and Slovak. " only for political reasons" My brother in Christ, they literally tried to Frankenstein them together they were one country for 70 years! It didn't work and they separated again - because they are in fact different languages and cultures. The only political act was declaring them one language in the Constitution of 1920, and that was calculated to bolster % of Czechs in the population to counter the German minority. You are very ignorant on European languages in general, let alone Czech and Slovak history.
As a Hungarian I have to say Slovenian and Serbian recordings sounded very "familiar" to my ears, but still couldn't understand a word. Strange feeling. Cool video!
they were like "here's the weather but now you probably won't need it, so look at the new phenomenom - animals taking over cities" looks like all of news are recent, so they mention quarantine consequences
There is NO NORTHMACEDONIAN language it is MACEDONIAN In accordance to the Prespa Agreement all adjectives remain, i.e. MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE, MACEDONIAN PEOPLE, MACEDONIAN SALAD ,,,, etc, please DO NOT ATTACK OUR IDENTITY
It contained words like: minut, kandidat, materiala, kontakt, milion, publik, informace, konference, parliamente, televizie, special maraton, and many other words used in English too.
as a Ukrainian speaker who knows russian too I can say what all slavic languages sounds very similar. You can catch the meanings of all speaker but it stills sounds backwards 😂
Polish here. Heh. I didn't understand much from this video cause they all were speaking too fast but I understood you in 80%. At least I got the meaning.
@@tibs5333 i guess he meant one text translated into all the languages to see the differences more clearly, for comparison. it was not about them having the same pronunciation.
As a Bulgarian I understood most easily the south slavic languages, especially the Macedonian, also quite a bit of the Russian (I’ve studied Russian 20 years ago for 2 years maybe this helped 😅), i caught a few words from the Ukrainian and Belarusian, but nothing from the west slavic languages. Interesting experiment! 😃
Брей и аз разбирам по същия начин същите езици с разликата, че от полския, чешкия и словашкия, третия разбирам много повече, отколкото другите два, и че не разбрах толкова словенския.
They all do sound very similar to me. I don't know any Slavic languages (save a few words here and there), and couldn't tell these apart at least in their spoken forms. I like the sound of the Slavic languages, and I love their traditional music :)
It's fun to see so many comments about how nice Serbian sounds, without mentioning Croatian and Bosnian, which are the same language with minor dialectal differences. I think that the presenter is the key here. :)
@@lillyflowerxoxo6832 Is that really the way people see us? :)) As a certified Serb, with Muslim and Croat family members, I can tell you that only a few people claim that these languages are not the same (among us who speak in the Shtokavian dialect; things are a bit different when it comes to the Kajkavian and the Chakavian dialects). The main point of contention is what should be the name of this language and who should have the right to standardize it. It's the matter of prestige and national pride (which takes on strange shapes when you have nationalism of small differences). :P
Most useful: Russian, Polish Most phonetic: Serbian (even thought Croatian, Bosnian are 99% with Serbian it's slightly more phonetic) No cases at all: Bulgarian, Macedonian
russian a little bit hard for studying, but very useful. You can use it instead of english in russia, belarus, urkaine, moldova, kazakhstan, uszbekistan and kyrgyzstan. And sometimes in estonia, latvia, lithuania, georgia, armenia, azerbaijan, tajikistan and turkmenistan
Creating a video that showcases all Slavic languages in one video would be a complex and time-consuming endeavor, as there are several Slavic languages with distinct dialects and variations. Moreover, the length of such a video would likely be quite long, making it challenging to watch in its entirety. If you're interested in learning about Slavic languages, I would recommend exploring them individually or in smaller groups. You can find resources online, such as videos and articles, that introduce you to the basics of each Slavic language, their unique features, and cultural context. This approach will allow you to appreciate the richness and diversity of Slavic languages more effectively. If you have a specific question about a particular Slavic language or need information about a specific aspect of these languages, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to provide you with relevant information.
As a polish speaker, I understood very very much, especially russian belarussian, ukrainian and slovak. Greetings from Poland to all my slavic brothers!💪💪💪

@@user-pk1gf9ni9q This is like smaller USSR, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and some other countries into 1 mega state which won't be stable at all.

I am French but I love slavic culture and langages. I almost visited all of these countries 😊. Just back from Praha which is an incredible city, the most beautiful on earth. Just amazing ❤

I was most amazed at the similarity between slavic languages when we were in Kyiv for spring break. We got lost somewhere and found a young police officer - he was about our age so we spoke to him in English and we spoke Serbian between ourselves. The guy stopped us and correctly (!) guessed that we were Serbian (which still blows my mind, maybe he played CS 1.6 with Serbs or something) and said, I'll speak in Ukranian and you will understand it all, don't worry! And we did :) After that, in Moscow, we spoke more Serbian than English and got along Moscow just fine Slavic gang united 🤙🏻
That is what I love about Slavic languages. Four years ago, I visited Baltic Countries (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland) . We tried with English, but ended up with Serbian in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Since they were under SSSR and are close to Russia, they all knew Russian, even in non Slavic countries, and we understood each other pretty well. It was nice :)! People were really nice and cool about it.

As a Croatian I would say that the Western & Southern Slavic languages when spoken, all sound similar with a slight Italian sounding with a pause or gap when pronouncing the words, where as the Eastern Slavic languages sound more grouped together and strung out.
Macedonian here: 1. Russian - Telling about the weather, but also about a new natural occurrences during the pandemic, like a puma walking on the streets of Santiago and (чаики?) on the beaches of Peru. 2. Belarusian - Didn't understand much, something about spirituality 3. Serbian - Informs about events like a gallery dedicated to Anne Frank's life that is available until 8th of May, and about a art exhibition in the Ethno museum in Belgrade called "Without beginning and end" where different kinds of rings from old times are on display, the exhibition is until 22nd May 4. Ukrainian - something about peace? Maybe the war situation. 5. Croatian - It's about Vukovar-Srem municipality subsidizing houses or apartments so that they stimulate the youth to remain living there. 6. Bulgarian - Something about spilling concrete in the sea near the tourist acommodations and people angry about it and talking about it on social media, and the object being legal but not secured or something like that. 7. Slovenian - Discussing about some logistical problems. (It's so weird, I can understand individual words but can't understand 100% what is it about) 8. Bosnian - "The earth has become a dangerous place", about how journalism is the most dangerous profession in the world as they are constantly under threat of being killed or perish in a disaster. 9. Polish - The unemployment being at record low level, the rest didn't get much. Something about EU parliament. 10. Czech - Korona, that's all I understood :( 11. Slovak - Something about someone on Mount Everest, "for incredible 112 minutes". Something something stunt performer Wim Hof
czech was talking about discovering a very curious case of corona virus, where the person doesnt know when, how and from who they were infected :)! the infected was a taxi driver, who worked with harshly 90 people :3
I speak Polish (native), Serbian/Croatian (learnt by interest) , Russian (learnt at school/interest) and Czech(I live in Prague) and I understand all the rest :) our languages are the best!
Slavic women seem very feminine. I like that! In terms of language - as a Dutch/West Germanic native speaker: Bosnian sounds the most pleasant to my ears. Russian and Belarusian are close second and third😄
@@HeroManNick132 Yes, but different dialects. Take it easy brother! No one is saying anything bad about your beloved Serbian. It's the same language but the dialects are way different. Serbians speak very fast. Croats speak very fast and monotone. Bosnians take their time with everything so the language is also very slow that's why most people can understand Bosnian better than Serbian and Croatian and that's also why they think it's more pleasant but I know, I know Serbian is the best bla bla bla yes we all know! You won the war yes! Ok! Thank you!
As a German, of course, I don't understand a single sentence. But I grew up near the Czech border and had a few years of Russian at school, so I can at least distinguish Czech/Slovak from the other Slavic languages and understand some words. And it is really easy for me to distinguish a German speaking Russian from a Czech. The accent in German is really very different although both languages seem to be very similar. Ok, I don't want to disturb the Slavic party any further. Your languages are all wonderful and I always like their sound very much and very especially your accent in German. It always sounds so soft and pleasant.
@@jcoker423 Serbs are Russians who think they’re Balkan. /s And yes, Czechs definitely are the least Slavic of all the Slavs. Still not Germans though..
@@jcoker423 Neither, nor... Due to the long contact in history they are assumed to be somehow close to German, but I would say they are closer to French or French closer to Czech: Atheistic, some tendency to revolution, rather centralized country and some kind of "savoir vivre and celebration of intellect" and the capital: Prague and Paris are small beauties on hills along curved river. Prague has even a little "Tour d'Eiffel". Also both have quite some tradition of republic: Czech stayed longest democratic during the World Wars of all Central European Countries. On the other hand: Regarding beer, pub tradition, music and engeneering there are also some similarities between Germany and Czech Republic, but I think overall there is more similarity between Poland and Germany regarding landscape, national kitchen, size etc.. However, all the Central European Countries have many things in common as they have a long common but often not very peacful and lucky history. The strong separation during Cold War was more an exceptional state.
@@jcoker423 Northern Germany is also very flat and has a coast in the north and Poland the Tatra (>2000m) and Sudety in the South. I have been to Poland twice so far, but mostly in the Southern part. The central part is more flat than Central Germany, but that's it. Also the capital is shifted to the eastern part in both countries. Czech Republic is similar than central hilly part of Germany like Thuringa, but there is neither a coast nor high mountains in the South. And if you consider the cities: Gdansk/Hamburg, Warszawa/Berlin, Posnan/Cologne, Frankfurt/Wroclaw and Krakow/Munich and lot's of countryside inbetween and Elbe/Wisla and a little bit separatistic people in the far South, "special " relations to Russia and USA... There are clearly some similarities in the overall structure even if there are certainly also differences like protestant and today atheistic Prussia and clearly catholic Poland. Certainly, it is a rather personal view which should not be taken too seriously and probably many people in both countries would reject the idea due to the harm Germans did to Poland in the past.
My husband is training a Czech coworker and he said coworker's accent in English sounds different from mine (another Slavic language). That's why I'm watching this video.
Родной - русский. Больше всего понравился украинский - очень по-тёплому звучит. Белорусский в этом видео звучит очень привычно, но чаще всего он всё же с такими, скажем так, инопланетными нотками)).

I’m from Poland and I’d say Czech and Slovak are the most understandable and closest languages to ours ( around 80-85%) and then Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian ( in the right order ). The rest not really... maybe a bit of Slovenian and Croatian. Sending love to our southern neighbours 🇵🇱 🇸🇰 🇨🇿

I already commented, I know, but as a person from Slovakia, I understood czech (obviously), russian, and a bit of polish. Even tho I didn’t understand the other languages, they were honestly all very unique and interesting!
Politics, history, religion, culture, language development - simple. If we are the same why we are divided by Catholicm, Orthodoxy and to some point Islam and Atheism? See, we are already different to support each other, despite we speak more or less similar languages. By this logic is why Romance and Germanic countries not 1 country.
As Czech, it is really easy to understand Slovak (obviously), Polish (I kinda have a cheat because my grandma was from Těšín and spoken weird czech-polish language and listened to Polish news) and suprisingly little Bulgarian (to me it sounds like weird Polish). Also Ukrainian as there is a lot of people from Ukraina so I got used to it With other languages it is just bits here and there, most of them are easier to read and understand then hear and understand (I guess because I am not used to accent and different word tone and cadence)
@@2esh4 It's because South Slavic (Balkan) languages are actually more connected to those Western Slavic than Eastern Slavic. I got the exact same feeling. Slovenian, Croatian or Serbian sounds more familiar to me than Ukrainian which lies literally next to my country.
@@2esh4 probably because Russian and Belarusian are the only Slavic languages that have vowel reduction (vodá written = vadá spoken, reká written = riká spoken)
