Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]
Interesting opinion even if it doesn't always entirely make sense.
Get southern talking about girls then for comparison.
I think Slovakian sounds a bit more "Goodbye Mister Bond" than Polish. There is always something of a dialect continuum in the Slavic family, with some linguistic borders stronger than others. Even Slovenian and Czech are supposed to have similarities that can seperate them from all the others despite being seperated by German and Hungarian speaking areas and the fact that they are in seperate groups - West and South Slavic.
There is something called the Balkans linguistical gubbins (my name for it because I've forgotten the real one) where even Romanian and Albanian share similar features to their neighbouring langauges due to developing in close proximity to eachother.
Ukrainian? I dunno.
Southern is just giving his own opinion

For me it sounds arrogant
