How could you make a mixed language out of two languages with entirely different alphabets, though?

Even the name serb is stollen

2018-04-18 20:39:25 UTC

Lausitz sorbs came into contact with turkic mercinaries and then they renamed themselfs

2018-04-18 20:40:18 UTC  

I know Croatian and Serbian do sound similar orally, though.

2018-04-18 20:40:44 UTC  

It's because the language is actually the same, just magyarisation and development

Originally croatia was a province in modern day Lika

2018-04-18 20:43:52 UTC  

Then the mercinaries came and settled in with the indeginous people, the dalmatinci-slovenes

2018-04-18 20:44:29 UTC  

With the ottoman empire spreading, they had to retreat to "slavonia" which is a falesly translated version of the dialectical "slovenijeh"

2018-04-18 20:44:49 UTC
