    Default Slavic speakers: How much Macedonian do you understand?

    Can you roughly determine how much percent of Macedonian you can understand from the following video?

    A bit of topic question.Do old speakers from your region have this kind of serbian-like(to my ears) accent or a different one?

    This is the standard official Macedonian language. There are many dialects of Macedonian Slavic which sound different to this. It has been influenced by Serbian.

    This is the dialect in the video below that I find to most closely resemble the spoken language of my ancestors. I understand it 100%.

    I feel the same with Russian and Ukrainian; I catch some words, but most of it just sounds very unrecognisable.
