Week 11, 2025: What @wikidata@wikis.world album languages grew the most this week?
The Croatians crushed it.
I lost counting and keeping track but there's
#danish #swedish #norwegian #finnish #russian #polish #slovak #basque #catalan #bulgarian #hungarian #estonian #lithuanian #latvian #czech #turkish #swiss #viennese #slowanian #romanian #welsh #celtic #icelandic #irish #croatian #greek #albanian #serbocroatian #ukranian #belarussian #portugese #galic and #faroese
When Balkanians want to say that they're not naive and that you can't fool them, they say: "Nisam ja veslo sisala", which means "I haven't sucked an oar". But if someone has already fooled them once, they might say "Možda jesam sisala veslo, ali nisam progutala čamac" - "Perhaps I have sucked an oar, but I haven't swallowed a boat" #croatian #serbian #bosnian #bcms #language #lesson
Ok, due to huge success and additional info found, I extended table to cover more Slavic month names. It is also perfect example why our languages are not very mutually intelligible: same words often have shifted meaning.
EN = UA [romanized] = CZ = HR = PL
January=січень[siczen|sičeň]= leden=siječanj
= styczeń
February=лютий[liutiy|ljutij]=únor=veljača=luty
March=березень[berezeň]=březen
=ožujak=marzec
April=квітень[kviteň]=duben=travanj
= kwiecień
May=травень[traveň]=květen
(máj
)=svibanj=maj
June=червень[czerven|červeň]=červen
=lipanj
=czerwiec
July=липень[lipeň]=červenec
=srpanj
=lipiec
August=серпень[serpeň]= srpen
=kolovoz=sierpień
September=вересень[vereseň]=září=rujan
=wrzesień
October=жовтень[zhovten|žovteň]=říjen=listopad
=październik
November=листопад[listopad]=listopad
=studeni=listopad
December=грудень[grudeň]=prosinec
=prosinac
=grudzień
month=місяць[misiyac|misjac]= měsíc
=mjesec
=miesiąc
year=рік[rik]=rok
=godina
=rok
hour=година[hodina]=hodina
=sat=godzina
Notes:
-lipaň/lipiec ~ červen/červenec?
-kolovoz sounds cool in Czech
-studeni is very intelligible, but well, entire winter is "studená", "studené období" :-)
-rujan is also Czech name for peninsula on German coast of Baltic sea (Rügen), historically inhabited by Slavic tribes, but may be close to Czech říjen? (+shift by one month again? who is right? I had thought about "říjen" month maybe related to "Rujána" island before...)
-Croats got years and hours all wrong! Those relaxed southern Mediterranians (but yes, it seems related to "god" for "year" is same with Russian)

And the internet delivers! Props to Reddit’s u/belanedeja. It’s a mishmash of Glagolitic, botched Glagolitic and ‘just some written bullshit done so it looks cool a bit like Glagolitic’.
Which, as a seasoned former teenage metal-band logo writer on pencil cases, I am here for.
Spotted this extremely unusual stylized script on some graffiti in Split, Croatia. Pretty sure the second word is in Glagolitic letters, but I can’t decipher the letters.
What does it say? And what does it mean? Any help would be much appreciated.

(HR) Znam da je riječ "novac" od "novi pinez", tako kaže HJP i Wiktionaey. Ali kada se ta riječ počela koristiti i koja su to bila nova pineza?
(EN) I know that the Serbo-Croatian word "novac" (money) comes from "novi pinez" (new money, with pinez being an older word for money, still used in some dialects and also in related languages such as Czech). But when was the word "novac" first used, and what was the new money they're talking about?

The letter Đ was introduced to Serbo-Croatian by Đuro Daničić, according to Wikipedia. I found that highly amusing, that he introduced the letter that is the first letter in his name.
Wikipedia also claims that he was born Đorđe Popović, and all I can think of is "nah, that can't be right".
That would be like Jebediah Springfield who was born in a cabin that he helped build.
Vladimir Nazor is likely the most famous author from the island of Brač, the island my parents are from. His most acclaimed book seems to be Pastir Loda, Loda the Shepherd. It tells the story of a satyr that, through accidents and storms, was stranded on the island of Brač, and how he lived on Brač for the next almost two thousand years.
