SLAVIC: SERBIAN & CROATIAN 

This is basically,"change hour homework a little so it would not be obvious that you copied it" kind of deal

In balkan dialects pretend to be different languages, in China different language pretend to be dialect.

It is one language, artificially divided for political and nationalistic reasons. The only difference between "kruh" and "hlieb" (bread) is a regional difference.

The only difference is one is written in cyrillic while the another written in латин

This is like comparing British English to American English, we ALL know it’s the same EXACT language, but because of ethnic & political reasons they pretend it’s different. It’s the same for Hindi & Urdu, Malay & Indonesian, Bulgarian & North Macedonia, & other so-called “languages”. Just because you have regional differences in a few words like the UK saying “flat” & US saying “apartment” or pronouncing something with a regional accent, it doesn’t make it a different language . I’m sorry for the brutal honesty, but somebody’s has to say the truth🤷‍♂️

In Germany you can have two neighbouring villages and the language difference will be much stronger

Love both Serbia and Croatia from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿❤️🇷🇸🇭🇷

homie just compared the same languages with eachother

Next video: Canadian English vs Australian English. 😃

I took care of children at the elementary school, and there were a bunch of kids from the Balkans who were the children of the surviving children of the Yugoslavia wars. Hence I tried to help them out in learning the German language quicker by learning their languages to get an easy access to them and as a language loving lady, I could fortunately teach myself some basic things in srpski, hrvatski and bosanski jezik. It was a great time for all of us, and it was wonderful to see that even the Serbian children had a good time with the Bosnian ones. 💗 Ljubav, mir i sloga za Balkan! 💗

Both are same idiom, only subdialect from each other. Basically its same lang with regional words and regional phonetics. The division is legal and political, just as that.

Curious, it looks exactly the same language 🤔

surely it will be a peaceful comment section...

Croatian and serbian used to be different, in 18- something , croatian and serbians agreed to speak the same languages

As someone whose native language is 'serbocroatian' (or whatever you wanna call it really) this is kinda hilarious to me. It's like comparing british and american english: same language, different accent/words used. 😂

Sounds basically the same😮

Slavic languages show high similarities with each other much more in comparison to any other Indo-European languages 🇮🇳♥🇭🇷🇷🇸

One nation divided by religion

as Serb, I can confirm that Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks and Montenegrins all speak same language. If someone says "no it's not the same language" that whould be like saying "American English and British English are 2 languages"

it's amazing how many people on the comments are actually arguing when it's literally grouped as Serbo-Croatian by most linguists (which oddly includes Bosnian, Montenegrin, and probably more) and Serbian and Croatian are seperate dialects but it's not some new thing as if this channel hasn't done dialects before, I like watching their covering of dialects, they're interesting

Basically you could do the serbian construction of the lords prayer in croatian and the croatian in serbian there is no difference

Same languages, politics differ them.

Same language. They just picked a different word or phrase for the same thing

Isnt it just the same language?

If to compare the political map of the region, and the map of the Serbo-Croatian dialects, these are quite different maps. Identity is based purely on religion, and has nothing to do with the dialects.

Croatian and Serbian languages met for the first time in the 19th century and since then endured heavy political hand to make them more similar for more than 150 years. Imagine Ukrainian and Russian situation, you'd say go Ukraine, we respect you, but no, when Croatia is in question, nah, it's the same language. From Slovenia to Bulgaria exists dialectal continuum, meaning neighbouring villages understand each other, and so is from the Alps to the Black Sea, yet Slovenian is not Bulgarian and vice versa. Croatian and Serbian have their dialects, but misfortune is that because of political reasons similar dialects are chosen in both languages to form standard languages. Tradition and legacy speak in favor of two languages. Croatian language passed through every European cultural change since early Medieval period through Renaissance and later periods, Serbian didn't because they were under Turks for more than 400 years. We had authors who wrote both in Croatian and Latin languages, as was common across Europe. Not the case in Serbia.

That's why it's called Serbo-Croatian

Oh really, comparing two identical languages. I'm Serb and I understand 100% of croatian

거의 같은 단어라고 생각했는데 의외 였던게 빵을 세르비아어로는 Hleb 크로아티아어로는 Kruh. 발음은 거의 비슷하고 어휘도 유사하고 수백년간 갈라져서 살았던 민족이라고는 보기 어려운 언어적 동일성을 가진 세르비아와 크로아티아. 75년 헤어져 살고 있는 남북한이 본받아야 할 부분임.😊

Croatian and Serbian languages are case where languages that had a different historic roads and were different enough trough history were made closer by politics in last 100 years, yes they were always Slavic languages and partialy simillar but were never this close, bassicaly most simillar dialects were choosen as a template for official languages, other Croatian dialects are bit different, same goes with east Seebian dialects which are also different.

Fun fact: In Serbo-Croatian languages, the letter “h” is always pronounced like the Scottish “ch” as in “Loch” which doesn’t exist in English. The English “h” sound, on the other hand, doesn’t exist in Serbo-Croatian languages and is instead approximated by their “h” sound. Also, this is a cognate of both the English “ch” that’s pronounced like a “k” and the letter “h”. In Russian (which yes, I know isn’t Serbo-Croatian), “g” is a cognate of the English “h” but in more recent loanwords and names, they’re approximated by their “h” sound which is the same as in Serbi-Croatian languages.

In my understanding it's more of a self-determination thing than a real linguistical division. As a Russian speaker, understood 95% of Croatian and 90% of Serbian (the exception is the word "napast" in Croatian, the Serbian word "iskušenje" is more understandable for me). The reason of that high level of understanding may be the archaic forms used in the Lord's Prayer though, not sure.

This is the same language.

Could you make a video comparing Croatian and Molisan Croatian?

This is just different way to say the same thing. It's one language!

Love both languages ❤ from Russia

They're not languages, they're dialects

In Serbia, we don't say Amen, we are not Catolics, we are Orthodox, and we say Amin not Amen.

They are the same language

Serbian is an official language in Serbia and Kosovo and is spoken as a mother tongue by the population in 7 other countries. The Serbian language (native name: српски језик) has its roots in the Indo-European language family. With 5.96 million native speakers, Serbian has the largest distribution in Serbia. In total, around 7.3 million people around the world speak Serbian as their mother tongue. This total is restricted to native serbians.

It's a huge difference between being able to understand some language and being able to speak it. As a Croat I can understand Serbian, but to speak it according to the standards, I can not. Being mutually intelligible is one thing, and the usage of language is another thing. For example, I can understand Slovenian language almost 100% (it would be difficult to find a Slovenian word that I can't understand, but not impossible I guess), but I have never tried to speak it. (I'm watching Slovenian tv channels for more than 20 years and I'm Slavist by education). And one more thing: similarity of languages can not erase differences of ethnic, religious and historical identity. Attempt to erase differences between Croats and Serbs was already made from 1918 to 1990, but it didn't work: the only result was war and killing and massacres during the WW2 and during the war in 1991-1995. If we read in historical work that was written in the middle of 10th century (so, 1000 years ago) by Byzantine emperor Konstantin VII Porphyrogennetos (905-959) in Greek language (although known widely under Latin name as "De administrando imperio"), we will find there that Croats and Serbs are two different nations with different states of their own. Even the 1000 years of history didn't erase our separate and mutually conflicted identities. Remember that Croats are traditionally Roman Catholics and Serbs are Orthodox autokefal Christians. So, we have big differences in history, tradition and cultural influences (Croatian ties with Latin, Italian and German culture and languages are not existing in such extant and in the same way in Serbian tradition and literature and in everyday life). And what is the most important: Croatian spoken language in everyday life, in every part of Croatia, in any region is never identical 100% with Croatian standard language. In some regions daily spoken language is so different from standard language that if someone is foreign who has studied Croatian standard, he or she will not understand what people are saying. Because we have Kaikavian and Chakavian dialects in Croatia, with the literature of their own, going back to the 15th and 16th century. Only in Zagreb, Slavonia, Lika and Dubrovnik region the language of every day is close to the standard language, but yet with some differences in pronunciation and in accent. Without standard language, even the Croats among themselves would have difficulties in understanding, for example Croats from island Hvar, from Istria, from Slavonia and from Međimurje or Croatian Zagorje region, are speking on their daily base in very different dialects. Croats are not typical "language nation", but "historical" nation. This means that what connects them and makes them a nation is not the tradition of same language, but the tradition of Croatian state, which existed from (as we have documents about) 9th century till today. Namely, Croatia always had the parliament of their own and its own autonomy under elected "ban" ("ban" was elected position of political and military leadership figuring as a "vice-roy" during the entire Croatian history till 1918, when Serbian regime has removed it together with parliament, but not entirely: remember "banovine" in Kingdom of Yugoslavia from 1931; last ban of Croatia was elected in 1939). Croats are historical and political nation, based on tradition of Croatian state and of its autonomy.

Basically the same, written with different alphabets. Only thwir nationals deny it till the end. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

So what’s the difference?

I'm a non-native speaker of "the language" living in Serbia, and I have to say, it's THE SAME LANGUAGE. Apparently that seems kind of hard for some Croats to accept, just like some Serbs are unable to accept that they've lost Kosovo

I don't think you can generalize that. Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian are different. In terms of vocabulary and communication, Russian and Ukrainian are only 60% similar. Between Croatian and Serbian almost 100%. Polish, for example, is very peculiar

Croatian: "Sveti se" - "se" is reflexive pronoun! Russian: "Святится" (Svjatitsja) - sja is reflexive suffix. Sja was also reflexive pronoun in Russian until the 15th century

Most has already been said in the comments, but I would just like to point out that even words that appear different in Our lord the prayer are also used in both Serbian/Croatian.. Carstvo/Kraljevstvo Iskušenje/Napast... svagdanji Oprosti/Otpusti etc. I think hleb/kruh is the only real difference in this video.

Диалекты одного языка 🤷‍♀️

Nice to hear these languages.

One and two in Serbian is almost exaclty identical to Polish haha

Here is one language in Cyrillic script and here is the same language in Latin script

I am always saddened by the bloodshed that people who lived together for so many years caused upon each other...people who may have cultural differences but oh god...how many similarities also...

In Croatia alone there are many dialects. As a Croatian speaker l can hardly understand people from Zagorje . Their Croatian sounds like a mixture of Slovenian and Croatian. At least for me it’s very difficult to understand.

Carstvo i Kraljevstvo.

By the end of the year, possibly at the beginning of next year, the "Act/Law on the Croatian language" will enter into force and finally put an end to this political nonsense called Serbo-Croatian. By passing the law, Croatia would join numerous European countries (France, Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania, Slovenia, Switzerland, Belgium) that have a law on language, that is, a law on the official use of language. The Croatian language includes the Croatian standard language (it's own thing) and Croatian supradialects - Čakavian (6 dialects), Kajkavian (6-7 dialects) and Štokavian (4 western dialects), of which Štokavian (more precisely the Dubrovnik Krajina dialect not the other 3 dialects) was chosen as the basis (backbone) for the standard, and special idioms used by some Croats abroad. Standard Croatian contains 1/3 Kajkavian, 1/3 Čakavian, 1/3 Štokavian vocabulary and many new coined words not counting common Slavic vocabulary. All three Croatian supradialects contain the same amount of 1/3 vocabulary from each other within each other and also new coined words from standard. The big difference are different loanwords in each of them from different sources be it germanic, romance or oriental (persian, arabic. That said standard Serbian is nothing but heavily Croatised Serbian language from all those different Croatian dialects. It's not by this that Serbian is now automatically Croatian, no it is it's own legitimate rightful thing because Croatian and Serbian both respectively have their own different thousand year old cultural legacies, poetry legacies (depending on different poetry movements), traditions and many writings/documents that are written on different dialectal redactions of Old Church Slavonic or simply that there are different dialectal varieties that were used for prestige poetry, official court use or day to day usage of spoken language.

The difference between Serbian and Croatian is much smaller than Dongguan Cantonese and Hongkong Cantonese. You don't know where is Dongguan? Yeah that's what I meant.

Similar language 99,9%.😂😂😂😂

Do one of croatian, Serbian, Bosnian and Montenegrin plssss

Хорватский очень похож на русский

0:19 My friend and I when we see someone perform a cool bicycle stunt

They sound like Brazilian Portuguese

Serbo Croatian😃

Next: Bosnian & Macedonian

Wars were fought over this 💀

Please make the comparison with Bosnian as well

Boze gluposti. Officijalno, jezik i pismo u obadve drzave je Azbuka i Srpsko-Hrvatski. Latinicno pismo koje je nista drugo nego Azbuka sa latinicnim slovima, koje je Vuk oformio. Svidelo se to nekome ili ne, to je istina.

Četri Ćetri 😂😂😂

Names of months are completely different

Ma è la stessa lingua...

just change your language a little bit so we can fight everytime

First language : Serbian sentences Second language : Paraphrased Serbian sentences Either way, this is vastly different from Romanian, even sixteenth century Romanian. People take any Romanian word they don't recognize and say it is Slavic, even when its origin is Dacian substrate, Latin word not shared with the other four major Romance languages, or it is Greek, Turkish or German.

"Списывай, но не точь в точь"

It should be a single language... like german.. which is spoken in Germany and Austria... but, for politically reasons it can't be named neither serbian, neither croatian and serbocroatian doesn't sound very appealing... The importance of a good name for your language and your people cannot be underestimated... Czechoslovakia was splitted because people could not decided in the past to use the same name for their ethnicity and language.. like bohemians and moravians who adopted the czech identity... "Slovacians" are czechs as much as moravians and bohemians, but they kept their local identity..

*spiderman photo*

Andy dear, please, good evening, put the Native American languages of South Central America and the North, Central and South Islands of the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of America. Hugs, great November.🌹🍷👍🧚

Boss: So it says you speak 4 languages besides english, let me hear them Me: I speak serbian, croatian, bosnian and montenegrin Boss: arent they the same language just different accent? Me: Not according to ultra nationalists

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bosnian?

🇧🇦

Croatian and Serbian are extremly similiar. But if you say: "This is same language". You don't understand situation. Croatian and Serbian is not one nation, this is two diffrent nations, and diffrent nation wants your own languages. Yeah, but about Americans, Austarlians, English people or Spanish people and people in South America and Portugal Brasil. This founted this nations. Americans are from England, and Australians too. Brasil speak protugese came from Portugal. But ( in my knowledge) Croatian and Serbian always was different nations. And we love jokes about serbian langauge, but "This is same language" is not very wellcome.

this mf is about to start another Balkan war conflict

The Serbian language (српски језик, transl. srpski jezik) is the standardized variety of Serbo-Croatian used mainly by Serbs. It is the official language of Serbia, Kosovo and one of the three official languages ​​of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Furthermore, it is a recognized minority language in Montenegro, where it is spoken by a considerable part of the population, as well as in Croatia, North Macedonia, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. It is a South Slavic language, spoken by around 12 million people, this total already includes non-Serbs and descendants of Serbs. This total its relationed to non serbians and descendants of serbians in others countries abd continents.

найди хоть одно отличие 😁

Pff planets apart. Like Finnish and Xhosa😂

Croatian is closer to Russian lol Serbian sounds like a Turkish person tries to speak a Slavic language wtf

Same language.

As a Serb i understand all Croatian words everything they say it's litteraly same language politicians are only thing that divide us.

I am Chinese. To me, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin are all one language and one nation. It is just a bad country formed due to religion and local principalities. The division of Yugoslavia made me see that the basic unity is like this. Mainly, seeing the infighting character of you Yugoslavs, West Slavs, and East Slavs makes me feel that your ideas and freedom and democracy are really backward

😂😂😂
