"Strange " English language..

Your fabricated propaganda won`t bring you anything. One thing on this stupidity of yours. Frankish chronicles (serious state documents) don`t say a word of Croatian language, territory or people. Only of Serbs. From Limes Sorabicus to Lusatia to the Baltic and Balkan Serbs. Croats are later Vatican invention and project.


Wait for the Wiki in a new architecture of Europe and world.

Because their greatness and ubiquity is so well known that it doesn't need mentioning, unlike the obscure and mongrelised 'serbs' (a type. of Vlach) that nobody had heard of to the south.

However. you have a thread for Balkan. drivel.

Correct and Serbs are a Slavic bastard of Albanians and Macedonian gypsies.

Why you people ruining this nice thread? I mean, whats the point? Are you retarded?

Who?How?

Contribute with something clever or go.

That or the Lost Tribe of Israel. Or more likely a type of Turk.

Virtual heroes. Go speak like that in the face to Nikola Jokic or Novak Djokovic.

Who are they?

This thread is about the English language, not Balkan weirdoes.

Correct!

So, tell me, where did I fail to be on topic? English language is no strange to me. Wherever I look I read deeper meaning of English word and SHOW to you here Serbian background of the word. After all, Tolkien spoke the same.

This is stupider than the old cranks that said Basque was the ur-language of the world....

linguists never compare contemporary language forms to determine relationships but the oldest forms they can find or reconstruct....

Serbian is a Slavic language and so has cognates with Germanic languages like English....English loaf and Polish chleb are cognates... descendants of an earlier Indo-European root

similarly English queen, Polish żona and Greek gynaika are all descended from the proto-Indo-Europeapn reconstructed root gʷḗn (woman)

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/g%CA%B7%E1%B8%97n

Absolutely you have right to your opinion. I would always defend that right to you.

Here! Don`t anybody dare to upset mafketis for his opinion!

See?

But at the same time, I think you are a moron.

And also the words quaint and cünt. It's all part of the Indo-European family. There are cognates in Kurdish and Punjabi too.

Though not wench, which seems to come from a verb about movement. Perhaps distantly related to the word wank. They may well be related to the verb to send. As in the Wendish people, another word for Sorbians. That sounds a bit like Serbian. Does that mean that all Serbians are wankers?

other modern versions of gʷḗn

Scandinavia: kone, kona (wife) kvinne, kvinna (woman)

Irish: bean (woman)

far more interesting than the random stuff you think is evidence....

I think you must be a moron if you think he is one.

Same as for him, so goes for your rights and my opinions on both of you.

Circle is complete.

It is indeed and comes back to point at you..... the moron!

Moron is a noble trait.

For Serbs maybe...... but not anyone else!

Serbs are givers of West. You sow with your own eyes that English have foundations in Serbian language.

What utter bollox! The English language came from Germanic, Dutch, Scandinavian and French influences, with some Latin thrown in....... no Serbian influence at all, most of the examples that you posted were from Latin or Germanic influences into your language.And that is where the connection begins and ends.Good try, massive fail!

And what, pray, are the 'foundations' of the s*rbian dialect of s*rbo-Croat?

this jon always finish in a mockery. Like limited a little bit.

So what's its 'foundation' then?

Anyway, this thread is nothing to do with s*rbian.

Contemplate on all you said I will and you will get what you seek.

Take the word `pussy`. Take it and you would feel clear connection. Spot >

pussy --- srb. translate as `pička`/read pichka (but originate from `pusa` to kiss).

But, listen how you got word pussy in English. In Serbian we say `pusa` for `kissing`. Its synonym to `poljubiti` to kiss.

So, see, in their wisdom ancients were blunt and literal. By kissing (pusiti) that venerable organ, they named it pussy. `Pussy` is from Serbian `pusa` - kiss.

Albanian for "you" formal is "Ju" and pronounced 'yeeew',
with a nearly pure umlaut homophone! Hungarian for "house" is "haz"
(acute accent mark above the "a"!), and while a direct cognate for the English lexical equivalent,
albeit with varying pronunciation, points to ZERO historic relation with the Germanic languages.
Hungarian is Uralic with a heavy dose of neighboring Slavic vocabulary and Albanian, as far as we
can tell is mostly Illyrian, add to that, strong admixture over the centuries from Greek and Turkish.

In short, as a linguist myself, I'd have to side with both Maf and Milo and dub your notions double bullox!!

Nonsense, brate. Illyrian was a Slavic language. I renounce so called indo-germanic linguistic school, and fabricated politically colored propaganda of western European scholars.


Slavic languages are fundamental for all other European languages. We Slavs ie Sarmatians aren`t newcomers to Europe but natives.

Much of such talk has long been debunked by scholars.
