Bulgarian is the same.

And so on.

@@HeroManNick132 In Russian we have both хартия and папирус words as well, but they used only for historical purposes.

Once you get proficient at Polish, I recommend learning Cyrillic, it will open the door to learning a bunch of other slavic languages because you will recognize many words that have the same root as in Polish, just with a slightly different suffix or something like that. You would probably understand at least 30 or 40% of Russian and Ukrainian. And if you can read Polish then you can automatically understand probably 40 or 50% of Czech and Slovak already. I am personally less familiar with the Southern Slavic language family, but if I'm not mistaken they're a bit closer related to Western Slavic than Eastern Slavic.

In Croatia glagolitic script was used till 1810. Croats were using 3 written standars: glagolitic, cyrillic and latinic. Also Croats were only western christians using his own language in liturgy instead latin. The oldest known written Croatian glagolitic documents from 9th century are today in Kiev museum (hope that this stupid war in Ukraina will not destroy it). Lot of French kings were put hands on "Texte du sacre" in Reims during king's inagurations, that book is Croatian glagolitic liturgy book from 1483.

Because they spoke the dialect of Belarusian but don't want to accept it (because want to be real Poles). The similar thing is in the Wilno district of Lithuania. There they have spoken (till the second part of the 20th century) the pure Belarusian till the moment when they started to learn Polish at schools.

Нормално, та нали всичките тези езици са произхождали от един език и знаеш кой е той!

@Ian 🤣 'Slavik' in Russian/Ukranian/Belorusian ( and other slavic languages) sounds like a diminutive form of "Slava", which is a short version of several Slavic names like that mean "glory of ..." : Vladislav - "Own glory", Borislav - "Fight for glory", Rostislav - "Multiply / grow Glory", etc. Google Translate doesn't do well with jokes :)

Being a Ukrainian from the Eastern part of Ukraine with Russian and Ukrainian native proficiency (but Russian prevailing), I am not so free in understanding Polish. Moreover Slovak seemed to be even more understandable than Polish.

You right about Belarusian and Ukrainian. As a native Belarusian, I can assert it. Nevetherless, some words sound the same but mean completely different things.

Май забравяш другият параметър, че тези два езика няма падежи, а опредителни членове, която е нетипично за славянските езици и може би затова те затруднява. Относно за турцизмите, аз бих казал, че сърбите, босненците най-много употребяват. Руснаците и те също например като с думата ,,лошадь," която не е славянска даже.

Not certainly in that way. Ukrainian is actually two languages. There is Western Ukrainian, which is closer to Polish and German, and there is Eastern Ukrainian, the so-called "Surzhik". a rural dialect of the local population, which is closer to Russian, it is also spoken in the southern rural regions of Russia. Now Western Ukrainian is becoming "classic" Ukrainian.

@@user-rt8pc4hn8oWhat you wrote can't be more wrong. Standard Ukrainian is based on Poltava dialect, which is a Left-Bank Ukraine (=Eastern Ukraine). Surzhik is not a language or even a dialect. It is a rural speech based on Ukrainian grammar, phonology and vocabulary with a Russian lexical superstrat (due to 350-year long Russification).

В случае с болгарским понимание его письменной формы русскоязычными очень сильно зависит от стиля и регистра текста, если текст более официален или научно популярный, то понимания больше, как люди пишут на бытовом регистре, то понимание наоборот затруднено максимально, в более официальных текстах одновременно много церковнославянских слов в обоих языках и болгарском, и русском, в болгарском высокого стиля есть и заимствования из русского разного происхождения. Польский, очень сложно понимать из за обилия специфических звуков и ударения, потом в польский заимствования в основном шли через немецкий или непосредственно из немецкого, в русский в основном от Византии и кочевников, есть слова полностью совпадающие, есть о значении которых я могу догадаться, есть совсем не понятные, есть ложные друзья переводчика, кстати русский и польский в некоторых моделях объединяют за отсутствие фрикативного и фарингального "г" и иногда отсутствие третьей и второй палатализации, удивительно, но всё это есть у ближайших родственников русского языка: украинском и белорусском, а в русском и польском наоборот нет. Понимание украинского и белорусского я бы не рассматривал, языки в их литературных вариантах были буквально заново сконструированы в самом конце 19в и начале 20в, практически как перед этим чешский, никто никогда именно так на них не говорил, все носители говорят на той или иной версии тросянки/ суржика (уничижительность этих названий не совсем понятна, потому как это и есть их нативный природный язык, так тут говорили всегда), в зависимости от региона или даже конкретного населенного пункта, у русского для литературного всё таки есть реальные носители из московской и питерской губерний и множество вокруг них, они именно в реальной жизни говорили практически на русском литературном, который не стоял на месте и постепенно эволюционировал, хотя конечно же говоры есть и у русского тут никто не спорит. Я сам немного носитель не совсем литературного говора, точнее вторичноакающего, и если вы не слышите разницы с акающими, то внутри России её все прекрасно слышат (а потому что безударное "о" даёт чуть не рандомно от краткого "о" до не открытого "а", но никак не "шва/ъ" и не полного "а", потом словечки когда-то имелись одновременно и южнорусские и севернорусские, на месте их среднерусских, ну да, отдельный язык не слепишь, да никому и не надо

Обожаю славянские языки ❤️

Well, it's the same thing for a Romance speaker even and for Germanic it's self-explanatory, especially if you are American and knowing how English is the furthest from all Germanic languages but it became the international language. The reason for misunderstanding in Slavic or any language from different families is the language evolution of each one. Slavic languages often borrowed words from their neighbours and some words may or may not exist in other ones. Also not to mention archaic words that in some languages are used but in some are not. And the worst part are the false friends which can make sometimes the conversation really awkward and inappropriate for the other speaker. Also the grammar can play huge role, especially knowing how Bulgarian and Macedonian lack of cases and have no infinitive forms that can make other speakers struggle bit more, because of the grammar. It's true that at least Interslavic is trying to unite every Slavic language, because all Slavic language share a common root and common words, even though they evolved with time, like every other languages. But still Slavic languages evolved the least because their evolving started less than 1500 years ago.

With such knowledge could learn Interslavic (Междусловjанскы). Should be easy for you

Ruthenian was spoken in Rus` (present-day Ukraine and Belarusia), but the language of religion was Old Church Slavonic. Russian is not really an East Slavic language, it is a CONSTRUCTED language and was created in 1661, it is a mixture of Old Church Slavonic (South Slavic Language) and Ruthenian (North Slavic language), and it was influenced by Finno-Ugric.
