Slovianski, a language that might change the world really soon

Jack Daw · 02-19-2010, 12:23 PM

Hello friends, I think you might be interested in knowing about this language. Any and all information can be found here. I've been thinking about creating such a language myself back in the day, when I could have chosen other universities, than the one I'm studying at (I was considering becoming an interpreter).

Nice reading to u!
Especially to Ante, pawelc and Seweryn. Way to go!

Slovianski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Slovianski — Ð¡Ð»Ð¾Ð²ÑÐ½ÑÐºÐ¸ — Ð¡Ð»Ð¾Ð²Ñ˜Ð°Ð½ÑÐºÐ¸
Jan van Steenbergen - home

Slovianski has both, latin and cyrillic alphabet variants and both sound the same, when you read it. Written form is different, but spoken form is universal. Precisely how I wanted/would have created it!

If you don't know what I'm writing about or why I am so excited, please have a look at this web site too:
Slavic peoples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The family will unite one day! :P Well, I would at least want to go to Russia without having to look behind my shoudler. It's really a tough country, if you are a foreigner.

A language I ~~will~~ must learn! Must contact Jan van Steenbergen! It really works. At least the prayer sample in wikipedia is perfectly clear, no words I couldn't understand. great work, BENELUX.

People are saying that all the time.

Wouldn't you like to understand any Slavic language just by learning a few new phrases and a dialect, that could as well be Croatian?

In my opinion we should all take care of our own languages and keep them live. I would honore my friends by learning their languages and culture and for international talks we allways have good old english

Ante, but I didn't mean forgetting Croatian.

It's just another language to learn. Nr. 6 in my case.

English isn't good enough, it lacks softness. Spanish and French are much more pleasant to my ear, but are less spoken. Spanish is still interesting though. Technically, if I fully conquer Russian (as I intend to do this year), it will cover all the ESC, Slovak will cover the CSC and I would have to learn a SSC language to finalize my collection. :P

Jack, you are my hero now! 6 languages, wow!

How long you've been conquering

Russian? It's a tough language.

As for Slovianski - that would be a nice inter-Slavic language, and it'll be much easier to learn than English. I've been watching a travel-programme on local TV recently, they've been to Slovenia, and most of the show both the anchorman and the guide were struggling with their English, until the guide was proposed to say something in Slovenian - I've LOL'd a lot, as Slovenian was clearly understandable with no need for translating.
Surely, we should preserve our own languages, and I reject the pan-Slavic ideas - there's too much difference between Ukrainian and Russian.
BTW, there's also a Latin version of Ukrainian, let me know - do you understand what's written in there - UkrajinÅ›ka Latynka . Is it alike your languages? I'm greatly interested.

Slovenian or Slovakian, Yuri? Its a big difference! Even I cannot Slovenian in the range I should.

novisyatria · 02-20-2010, 04:34 AM

Jack, you should try indonesian language i think for 7th language

Yuri · 02-20-2010, 04:37 AM

For sure it was Slovenian, as they were in Piran!

Dalmatiansoap · 02-20-2010, 04:42 AM

Haha, if they where here than it might be Slovakian as every thirdh person during summer is Slovak or Czech, right Jack

?

Several weeks. It takes an average Slovak to learn Russian in under 2.5 months. Nothing special, our grammar is similar/more complex and all you have to learn from scratch is Azbuka.

And more practical in Slavic countries. Sure there is a difference, but let's not go that deep into the topic.

No, but some words are similar. I can understand it though, even though Ukrainians have been using their old language since a very long time, it still feels like a Russian derivative (and reads similarily).

LOL, interesting language but I can't imagine practicing it.

Only if I went on a holiday to Indonesia.

Yep.

That's staticstics.

4.5mil Croats, 5.5mil Slovaks and more than 10Mil Czechs. 1mil Slovaks annualy travel to Croatia. And so does, accordiong to the statistics also 3.4mil Czechs. So it's 4.4million a year. That is in June and July (most of the travels there) and we get 2.2mil/month, now given this and your population of 4.5 we get:

Quote:

2.2/4.5=0.48

That would mean that there's as many Slovaks and Czechs as half your population. Now add to that Germans, Serbians, Slovenians, Russians, Italians and you will find out that annualy every 3rd person is either Slovak or Czech, thus representing our ~~bre~~ mountains.

LoL, when I look at it this way, there's (at some point) even more visitors than Croats.

That's great, in my opinion, as most of the population speaks/understands both languages. It's common to see people speaking two languages without switching to one in conversation - the question comes in Ukrainian, the answer is in Russian.
But the main rule in writing Ukrainian - you write as you hear. It's contrary in Russian, I guess you know that already

Yep, we write as we hear too, so this concept is very close to me.
But English taught me that even the most different meanings can sound almost the same.

So it's not a problem to learn a language like that either. Yet I think that it is logical to write as you speak, but most of the Western and Eastern countries just don't have the letters to what they pronounce. Funny.
