Fabinter 9 Posted June 7, 2017 #984 Share Posted June 7, 2017 14/15 for me, due to my old age and the fact that for ten years I have been spending my holidays in the former Yugoslavia. Really unbearable the world's ignorance on these beautiful countries and their slavic languages and only because of the alliteration of the two names ... the world got still a long way to go to improve and how can I be optimistic if there are millions of peoples who mix-up SLO and SVK, Arabic and Persian, Shiites and Sunnites, Spanish and Portuguese, Indoeuropean and Afroasian languages, who still believe that languages and dialects can be clearly distinguished and - last but not the least - still think that the Olympic boycotts were useful (this one is the most painful one for an old Olympics lover ...) and fully plausible because ... "the sports are integrally part of our civil life" ?!? hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean one should be optimistic, but mixing up things isn't the reason. The only reason I even know there are Shiites and Sunnites is because people have been blowing each other up for decades and that's in the news. And yes, for the untrained ear, Spanish and Portuguese definitely sounds alike, just like Japanese, Chinese and Korean would all sound at least somewhat similar to me. People mix up Dutch and German all the time, no reason to be pessimistic about it.

Novo Mesto means "New Town"... So yeah, if there is such brotherhood then pretty much all of the countries in the World are probably in it.

From all questions, I think the hardest should be the Vojvodina official language thing, because not everyone can know that, but for the others I think it´s more or less easy even to guess correctly.
