Slovak: the most beautiful Slavic language?

Post by Jackal »

I've always found Slovak to be the most beautiful Slavic language. I think they use more vowels in Slovak, so it sounds much smoother to my western ears.

Here's a clip of two Slovak women speaking naturally during a news interview:



What do you think?

Sounds melodic. Not as many sibilants as in Polish and not as abrupt as Czech. I cannot understand it well when spoken but if you write it down, I can get it Ok.
It does sound similar to Ukrainian in melody.

This is so close to Czech, which I speak, that I can't be an impartial judge. Slovak has some sounds in it that Czech doesn't, such as L', and doesn't have the hacek-R (ř), which tends to make it sound "softer" than Czech. I always found Czech girls talking to sound a little like baby talk.

By the way, that Slovak girl is a knockout!

I just fell in love. Holy shiiiit, she is just perfect! She is so natural, so NOT fake compared to American selfish queens...

I heard great things about Slovakia from many of my friends. Lifestyle there seems to be very good, nature is beautiful and people very welcoming and inviting. It seems like a country that got the best of East and West. I would love to go visit.

I agree with Ladislav, I can understand most of it when written, but spoken is a bit hard. It sounds similar to Polish to me, which I also understand somewhat.

And Slovak has an "ä" sound (like the "a" in "cat"), which Czech doesn't have.

That chick is some kind of celebrity in Slovakia, so it's not like she's just some girl off the street. I thought she'd be a pop singer, but I saw her doing magic in another video, so who the hell knows?

I agree. Perfect face and really nice voice. I'm mainly attracted to girls like her, Yulia Dorosh, and Vera. All of them have perfect faces and are 10/10s.

I'm of the view that Serbo-Croatian (aka BCMS) is the most beautiful Slavic language. For me it has a very smooth and pure aesthetic with a somewhat Italianesque phonology. I swear that at times it feels to my Hispanophone soul like a Slavically relexicalized Romance language.

I also believe that Serbo-Croatian is the easiest Slavic language to learn. I know that some people will say that Bulgarian is the easiest due to its loss of noun declension but Bulgarian has pesky articles (suffixed to the noun), a more significantly complex verb system, unclear pronunciation, erratic stress patterns (though not as erratic as Russian), and exclusive use of the Cyrillic alphabet. Serbo-Croatian on the other hand is pronounced very clearly in my opinion, uses both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets and is mostly phonetic, has a simple verb system (more simple than the Romance languages), and its system of noun declension seems to me somewhat more simple than that of other Slavic languages such as Russian, Polish and Czech.

The former Yugoslavian countries of Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro are also the Slavic region in which I am most interested since they are the most Mediterranean in terms of climate and culture and I find their females the most attractive since it seems to me that there the tan-skinned Mediterranean phenotype predominates.

The very similar Slovenian language also sounds very pleasant and melodious although I know much less about it since it's a much less spoken Slavic language.

I also think that Hungarian is a very beautiful Slavic langua ... Just kidding! Hahaha!
