  • Howdy Madlads! Today, I discuss a little bit about each of the 13 Slavic-Majority countries, and give insight to the unique qualities that each of these countries have. The Slavs share a common history and language family, and being the largest ethno-linguistic group in Europe, they are bound to have quite an effect on the world, so it's important to learn a bit more about them than what you see in the memes!

      Хорват Крижанич считал, что для того, чтобы славяне могли давать отпор турецким и немецких захватчикам, было необходимо сплотить славян вокруг Царства Русского, а это было бы невозможно без единого языка. Он писал в 1660-м году из г.Тобольск, Сибирь:
      «Всем Славянским народам глава - народ Русский, и русское имя потому, что все словяне вышли из русской земли, основали три государства и прозвались: болгары, сербы и хорваты; другие из той же русской земли двинулись на запад и основали государства ляшское и моравское или чешское. Те, которые воевали с греками или римлянами, назывались словинцы, и потому это имя у греков стало известнее, чем имя русское, а от греков и наши летописцы вообразили, будто нашему народу начало идет от словинцев, будто и русские, и ляхи, и чехи произошли от них. Это неправда, русский народ испокон века живет на своей родине, а остальные, вышедшие из Руси, появились, как гости, в странах, где до сих пор пребывают. Поэтому, когда мы хотим называть себя общим именем, то не должны называть себя новым словянским, а стародавним и коренным русским именем. Не русская отрасль плод словенской, а словенская, чешская, ляшская отрасль - отродки русского языка. Наипаче тот язык, которым пишем книги, не может поистине называться словенским, но должен называться русским или древним книжным языком. Этот книжный язык более подобен нынешнему общенародному русскому языку, чем какому-нибудь другому словянскому. У болгаров нечего заимствовать, потому что там язык до того потерян, что едва остаются от него следы; у поляков половина слов заимствована из чужих языков; чешский язык чище ляшского, но также немало испорчен; сербы и хорваты способны говорить на своем языке только о домашних делах, и кто-то написал, что они говорят на всех языках и никак не говорят. Одно речение у них русское, другое венгерское, третье немецкое, четвертое турецкое, пятое греческое или валашское, или альбанское, только между горами, где нет проезда для торговцев и инородных людей, уцелела чистота первобытного языка, как я помню из моего детства».
      Крижанич создал в 1661 году межславянский русский язык, который до сих пор встречается по западной Европе у славян!

      Триколор стал известен в Европе во время Великого посольства 1697-1698 годов (то есть первого заграничного путешествия Петра). Именно он символизировал Россию на международной арене и обозначал Единство Белой, Малой и Великой России, что было указано в титуле государей до 1721 года!
      "В 1848 году на Славянском съезде в Праге, его участники приняли решение, что возьмут за основу для флагов своих освободительных движений русский бело-сине-красный флаг. На самом съезде чешскоговорящие моравы уже выступали под бело-красно-синим флагом. В том же году лужицкие сербы провозгласили своим символом сине-красно-белый триколор. Также эти цвета, но несколько в другой последовательности (сине-бело-красный) использовал в 1848 году бан Хорватии Й. Елачич, к флагу которого восходит современный флаг Хорватии. Словенские патриоты повторили на своём флаге расположение цветов российского триколора, а словацкие революционеры в 1848 году для своего флага приняли обратный порядок цветов - красно-сине-белый. С 1918 года сине-бело-красные цвета стали символом единого юго-славянского государства.

      The problem with Russian is that you have to learn the Russian alphabet, which is quite different from Latin. If you learn Czech well, which uses the Latin alphabet, you will basically be able to communicate and understand Slovak, Polish and Slovenian as well at the same time, because they are very similar and closely related languages.🙂

      China and Taiwan, North and South Korea, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are typical examples like that of Bulgaria and North Macedonia or Romania and Moldova, showing very exactly how a nation is divided into two/three after external intervention.
      Only Germany managed to achieve its national unification after the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989.
      On November 10, the communist regime in Bulgaria fell, but its people remained divided into Bulgarians and some fake "Macedonians" - the Brainwashed Bulgarians from North Macedonia!
      PS:

      In the studio people talks about Vanga's prediction that after the unification of East and West Germany, one day, Macedonia (refers to the current Republic of North Macedonia) and Bulgaria will also unite.
      The conversation took place 8 years ago in the studio of a private Bulgarian channel TV7, which no longer exists, but the words still remain relevant to this day.

    Even though there is a great number of slavic languages, they are all, in different levels, quite intelligible. So learning a second slavic language should not be a hard task.
    Like you mentioned, serbo-croatian is spoken in 4 countries and, as it was an official language in Slovenia and Macedonia for a long time (during Yugoslavia), you would be understood there as well. That means you would probably "gain the most countries" if you opted for serbo-croatian. :)

      Bulgaria and North Macedonia are home to one of the oldest nations in Europe, but divided into two after 1944.
      A very sad picture of a very ancient and glorious people in the past, represented by its brave fighters and outlaws who constantly fighting to death for Freedom of Bulgaria from Turkish Slavery and for the unification of the already liberated parts of motherland with the still enslaved Macedonia, the lost child of Bulgaria!
      In memory of the fallen fighters in the village of Banitsa on May 4, 1903, for the unification of Macedonia to the mother Bulgaria and for the eternal memory of the generations:
      Gotse Delchev from Kukush, apostle and voivode; Dimitar Guschanov from Krushovo village, voivode; Stefan Duhov from Turlis village, chetnik; Stoyan Zahariev from Banitsa village, revolutionary; Dimitar Palyankov from Brody village, revolutionary.
      Their covenant was - Freedom or Death/Свобода или Смърт (written before 1945 in Old Bulgarian: Свобода или Смърть.

      Listen, Yugo-Macedonian...
      In the next video you will see how the local population in the town of Resen, southwestern North Macedonia nowadays, which at that time in 1941 bore the Serbian name Serbian Banovina/Сръбска Бановина, (the original Bulgarian name is Vardar Macedonia) welcomed the Bulgarian troops as liberators, not as occupiers!
      Serbian colonization in Macedonia was a purposeful policy of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, from 1929, to change the ethnic composition of the population in the occupied in 1913 Vardar Macedonia by reducing the relative weight of the Bulgarian element.
      This settlement, Edmond Boucher de Bell wrote in 1922, "combined with the expulsion of the incorrigible Bulgarian elements, was to lead to the rapid Serbization of the area."
      The task we ask the following:
      How can the current heirs of this people we see in the film degenerate to such an extent that they hate their own origin so much and call the Bulgarians "Tatars", "Mongols", "Fascists" and "Occupiers"!?!?!?!
      In the video you will also see how the Bulgarian soldiers, described in the Socialist Federal Republic of Macedonia and Yugoslavia as cruel "occupiers" and the local "occupied" population, dance together the Bulgarian round dance named horo/хоро and hug.
      From the footage we also see how, as a sign of respect, children offer flowers to the Bulgarian soldiers.
      We should also note the fact that the Bulgarian "occupiers" know very well the dance of the "occupied" locals, described in Yugoslavia as Macedonians, and not as Macedonian Bulgarians or just Bulgarians.
      The reception, which has become a kind of celebration of Freedom, is attended by German soldiers who do not know how to dance the Bulgarian horo, but they are genuinely having fun.
      Link:
      th-cam.com/video/1QWFsrlJu6M/w-d-xo.html
      A few details:
      Immediately after the establishment of the Bulgarian administration in the already free Vardar Macedonia in 1941, it immediately opened the schools and churches closed by the Serbs, amid unprecedented popular enthusiasm that gripped the local population.
      In the same year, Bulgaria invested 18% of its GDP in the revival of Serb-enslaved Macedonia. The Bulgarians began immediately with the construction of railways and tunnels, which are still used by the people of North Macedonia.
      At that time, for the Skopje region and the surrounding area, which had a total population of 265,000, the Bulgarian administration appointed only 123 police officers to take care for the security and tranquility of the locals.
      This only shows how much trust there was between the Macedonian Bulgarians and the Bulgarians of the Principality, who appointed only locals in the management of all local institutions!
      Reminder:
      In Bulgaria to be a Macedonian and Bulgarian have always meant the same thing!
      Only in North Macedonia are these still two different things and mutually exclusive!
      And all this is because of the policies and ideologies of Serbian Chauvinism, Anti-Bulgarian Macedonianism and Yugoslav Communism and Titoism, all of them very nasty policies and ideologies pursued for decades in then Yugoslavia.
      PS:
      There is no real Macedonian nation and language, and there never was!
      Everything was created in the years after 1944 and within the borders of the then Yugoslavia, the greatest work of the Comintern after Belarus and Moldova!

I would say it is a rise of national identity in Belarus today, so many Belarusians re-learn the language and re-discovers the hidden beauty of it. But from pure practicality of it, you wouldn't gain much by learning Belarusian. It can be a pleasant surprise for someone, but learning completely different widely-spoken language will give you an opportunity to communicate with millions of people, see their perspective on historical events. I think it is priceless.

    I would like to point out that Bulgarian and Macedonian follow different dialect patterns, and are not as mutually intelligible as you might think (macedonian had serbian influences in its recent history, while bulgaria had USSR influences to its language). Not to mention the dialects in all the south slavic countries vary wildly. What I mean by this is, the dialects are similar in eastern Macedonia and western Bulgaria, but wildly different in western Macedonia compared to any part of Bulgaria (this includes spoken and written form). So, while they are close and based off the same alphabet, they are not the same (which probably goes for many other languages you mentioned in this video).

    As a native speaker of Slovenian & Bosnian, I taught myself Cyrillic alphabet to learn the different variations of Bosnian, Serbian & Montenegro alphabets & words exclusive to these languages. It helped me out a lot to learn Macedonian because I found a great online Croatian - Macedonian language course. If god wills and If my health allows it I will also learn Bulgarian at some point as soon as I will feel confident in my Macedonian knowledge. And as you can see I'm also fluent in English because of school & media. In my opinion the most useful to learn are Croatian & Bulgarian. Croatian because it's easy to learn & four countries either speak or understand it. Bulgarian because you will understand more then half of Macedonian language & grammar wise it's the closest to east-Slavic languages making it useful for those who want to learn Belorussian, Ukrainian or Russian.

    There is at least two more versions of Croatian which are a bit different than official language, Kajkavski which is very close to Slovenia and is native language of wider Zagreb area and northwest and also Čakavski which is today language of Istria and the Islands, both are not same as what you call Serbo - Croatian, which is made from the dialect or language number 3 called Štokavski and which is almost same but with minor differences between east and west versions.
