Cannabis doesn't have magical powers and it can't rewire someone's brain. But it doesn't ruin lives and kill the motivation per se. Many associate it with losers and dark alleys. The truth is, a lot...

If I look at the distribution map of E-V13, without having further details about the subgroups, it seems to me that it spread from the south of the Balkans, it took the Danube highway up to the...

Very interesting question.

I'm personally not a fan of reverting of languages to some previous state. Every influence on the language is a part of the history and circumstances. The question is...

Thanks for the link, interesting read indeed.

You have the right to know. Make decisions afterwards. Your husband supports you, that's what you need to know, nothing else. Talk to experts about the offspring and risks, it's better than to...

Could there be any connection between "bardhë" and "albus", the root of the exonym "Albania"? There is some kind of mythical obsession with the white colour in that region, as far as I can google it...

Proto-Slavic? Speakers of Slavic languages spoke variants of a still very unified language. According to one definition of this theoretical (because there are no written sources) language on...

Same as the coastal cold north wind Bora (or Bura) in Croatia. Wikipedia says it comes from a Greek word Boreas. That's basically it.

My apologies. You're actually right. I've missed this part in the original link. I understand now what you meant. OK, this dicredits him for me too. Ignore this link, sorry. [emoji4]

Very informative answer...

Talking about this subject, this is what I found in an article today. The link is to a Serbian news portal (sorry, it's not in English):

I can't contribute to this latest discussion but I'm following it with great interest. Nice arguments and quotes of sources from all the participants even when opposed in the last 2 or so days.

Thanks for correcting me. Anyhow, I think it wouldn't be incorrect to say that the both scripts had the same purpose.

Oh, sorry, I missed your point. Thanks, there were no many subbranches at the time. I'm waiting for an updated panel.

We didn't establish that Serbo-Croatian was ever one language, not in linguistic sense, only politically. The fact is that it's a political effort in the 2nd half of the 20th century with a...

What did we all have together in Yugoslavia if you are allegedly only 1/8 Serbian? You are hard to follow, you give no facts, just assertions. But keep on provoking, I think that the answers to you...

Sure, but first, this happened before WWII. A complicated story, too complicated for you. Secondly, my grandfather and other family members were killed by Ustasa. But since you like to google, google...

Interesting. But I would say, if it was their mother tongue, it can't be incorrect. He was probably a speaker of some other idiom and he took the other one as his reference.

You're right about...

Cyrillic is an alphabet based on Greek alphabet. Brothers Cyrillus and Methodius developed it after Glagollitic, which they created first to help spread Christianity from the Byzantine. Latin letters...

You see, that's the problem, you're mostly bluffing. You can't even give an example of what you are asserting. But you are persistent.

Just shooting a few Croatian politicians in the middle of a parlament session for example?

No one speaks with an alphabet, it's only a script, not a language. Cyrillic has some short history in Croatia too as well as Glagolitic which is even older. I asked you already, what do you exactly...

As far as I understand this matter, Serbo-Croatian is a modern construct. None of these languages stem from another. There was a language or a group of very related dialects after the migration of...

The languages change. Today's South Slavic languages are far away from 6th to 8th century language(s). I suppose different Germanic tribes of the same period spoke similar languages or mutually...

I apologise if I misinterpreted something. I guess we're just irritated by the same things. I'm looking forward to following all the civilised threads about all our histories.
