This is Czech (read a description Praha).

Slovak is like Czech, but few archaic. Slovakian is based by Czech.

Different in Czech/Slovak is same Yugoslavic (Serbian x Slovene x Croatian).

Polish, Carpathian dialects of Russian (or Ukrainian if you insist), and other (Czech).

LMFAO!!!!!!!!

I don't live anywhere near a lot of either Arabs or Slavs, but even I can tell they don't sound a thing alike.

Yes, my point was that *some* Westerners are ignorant.

My roommate from medical school was from Slovakia. I used to hear her speaking with her family back home quite a bit. Listening to the language, it simply struck me as sounding very Eastern European
