slavonic

Got to 1200, but am still surprised how easily Portoguese can be mistaken for a slavonic language.

For OES in particular, it often outputs period-incorrect grammar, writes in Old Church Slavonic (different language), or even modern Russian or Serbian.

Later, in Russia, Volodimir was replaced with the Church Slavonic form, Vladimir.

I especially like Old Slavonic ones, where notation for numbers is purely alphabetical with tilde.

My dad has literally just published a book (in Russian) with about 850 words with near identical sound and meanings in Russian and other Slavonic languages.

Russian borrows from greek, old slavonic (bolgarian), among others.

It is generally agreed that it was created in the 9th century for the purpose of _translating_ liturgical texts into Old Church Slavonic by Saint Cyril, a monk from Thessalonica.

Also, Old Russian dropped participles, but re-borrowed them from Church Slavonic (southern Slavic), so we know these things, and learn them at school.

The languages are very different, Romanian is mostly based on Latin with Turkish, Slavonic and Polish influences (some Ukrainian also in Bucovina), the Dacian part is really small and the Albanian seems to be based on Illyrian dialects.

Cyrillic was a later iteration by the Slavs themselves - Bulgarians, to be precise - where those new shapes were mostly replaced with Greek letters (except where there was no direct equivalent), presumably because those guys were translating a lot of Greek books, and having similar alphabets for both Greek and Church Slavonic made things easier.

That "Sviatoslav" the article talks about is actually Svatopluk [0], who was not a "Slavonic speaker" as Old Church Slavonic is a sort of pidgin based on a local Macedonian dialect.

It can be compared to Russian izvod of Church Slavonic: combination of Russian pronunciation with Old Bulgarian grammar and words.) > Or even further maybe Guangdong and Hongkong cantonese are > different "language"?

R."[7][8][9] The term is from Czech word for robotnik ('forced worker'), from robota 'forced labor, compulsory service, drudgery,' from robotiti 'to work, drudge', from an Old Czech source akin to Old Church Slavonic rabota (работа) 'servitude,' from rabu 'slave'.

In the case of the biritual priest, his "Hollywood Ukranian and church slavonic" (as he put it) got so good that people would walk up to him after the liturgy and start talking to him in Ukranian, and then be surprised that he couldn't hold a conversation in it.

Most authorities reject the concepts of aboriginal (or Thracian) in Slavonic, for Tatar and Finno-Ugric origin of the Bulgars.

The language could just as easily have been Montenegrin or Slavonic, I have no way of knowing.

I tried it with a text written in Church Slavonic, didn't work.
