Slavstvuyte!

In this episode, I explored a minority language that kept one very interesting feature to this very day - Sorbian.

P.S. Since Sorbian (both Upper and Lower) are small languages and the pronunciation was hard to find, it may be that /w/ is pronounced different, and I apologize for that.


The transcript & a map can be found here.

Although the quality of the sound in this episode is a bit lower than what you’re used to, I couldn’t miss the chance of  talking to these two amazing girls - Nina Tunteva & Viktorija Blazheska, founders of Jazicharnica, a blog about linguistics in Macedonian. I had a blast chatting  with them about their blog, Macedonian dialects, how my (Torlakian) dialect is close to Macedonian and many other things!

You can find Nina & Viktorija on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter as well.
