Let's continue our language history series with the slavic languages! At home mainly in Eastern Europe, these are closely related, often mutually intelligible languages that started to separate about 1000 years ago. We'll of course also have a look at the different Cyrillic alphabets and at some of the smaller languages where it's not always clear whether they will be classified as a dialect or a separate language in the future. Corrections: Silesian has about half a million active speakers and the language which is considered a dialect in Ukraine is called Rusyn. Only a small part of the historical area of Moravia is in Slovakia today, the majority is part of the Czech Republic. Montenegro exists, even though I forget to mention it.

To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
