Donje Ljubinje Brides, Kosovo

[Kazimiera]

Brides in Donje Ljubinje, a tiny town in Kosovo, paint their faces in stunning patterns and embellish them with sequins for their wedding day. The makeup is said to ward off bad luck and has been a part of the wedding celebration since the town was founded. The bridal effect is finished off with colorful handmade clothing.

Donje Ljubinje is the stronghold of Bulgarians in Kosovo by the way. I have a colleague in the uni who is from there.

Very nice. I understand every word that was spoken, it is Croatian language.

No it isn't. first of all it's ekavian, not croatian ijekavian. Secondly it sounds Macedonian.

[Sisak]

Every sentence is the same as in Croatian language, maybe some word is ekavian but it is difficult to distinguish?

[Sisak]

You understand it because it is Bosnian, Serbian or whatever they speak. For fuck sakes seek a neurologist, troll.

[Borna]

Never seen Solin giving someone thumbsdown :D Must be very pissed.
Slavonia Croats can understand Štokavski completely, specially younger Štokavski from areas of Bačka. It is basically same dialect, with a small difference due do constant flood from Bosnia to Slavonia during 17 and 18th century.
