Every Slavic language has one key word, usually an alcoholic drink! :rofl:
For Russian, it's vodka! For Serbian, it's rakia! :D

I guess these are not the main key words.

There are words such as "ku***" (in Polish) or "bl**" (in Russian) which are usually used at least once in a sentence ;)

You can express with them anything you want.

Playing DotA with Russians, you hear "Cyka Blayt" pretty often. I'm guessing it must be something terribly significant in their language

Loving this thread :D!

- no, Czechian is not a word, we are and should be Bohemians ;)
- if you are looking for a Czech-centered drink...well, Pivo and Sliwowitz
- yeah, sometimes we forget vowels in our words: Strč prst skrz krk (Stick your finger through your neck) is our famous tongue twister

Well, atleast it's possible to read this one! The Poles have letter combinations, and not carons, so reading something with sz and cz becomes complicated fast.

Try learning Hungarian. AFAIK they have sz/s cz/c too, but the sounds are reversed :) So, Polish "sz" sounds like Hungarian "s" and vice versa.

Sz is S, S is SZ/Š, CS is CZ/Č, et cetera.

Technically, FYROM is not accepted by Greece because they call themselves Macedonains, which they are not.
EDIT: :ninja:

So Greece has the magical power to tell another nation of people what they can and can't call themselves?

Sounds to me like Greece should be spending time focusing on some of their own bigger problems rather than what the country to the north wants to call itself. It'd be like if the US threw a fit at Canada because they call it "British Columbia" when it is neither British nor Colombian. I say kick Canada out of the UN until they officially change it to West Hoosierlandia.

It just seems incredibly silly and petty.



Also, not a fan of Lusatian in the long name, as it refers to only a pretty specific chunk of the western Slavic tribes. Either add in all the other names, or replace it with a "blanket" term like Wendish or Pomeranian.

Yes, because not only do they have the name Macedonia, but are also claiming what is technically Greek cultural heritage (Alexander the Great mostly) as their own.

From my very limited knowledge of Serbo-Croatian and Russian, and from the fact that I think it sounds cool, I think I'd go with Vlike Slavija, "great Slavia."
