Should South Slavs be called Southwest Slavs instead?

[Dick]

I understand Polish more than I do Bulgarian, Russian and Ukrainian. Polaks sound like drunk Serbo-Croats to me or maybe we sound drunk to them as well. Macedonians on the other hand talk like babies trying to learn a Slavic language.

Serbo-Croat speakers could be Southwest Slavs
Macedonians and Bulgarians could be Southeast Slavs
Slovenes should probably be grouped with West Slavs

I only really care about south slavs, better known as the Greek mainlanders. They have some really cute guys, even if they are merely slavs. But some Sicilians from Enna might also qualify as SW Slavs because of the Greek influence on that town as well.

This is my opinion as well.

Slovak is very similar to Serbo-Croat!

I understand all here, very same.

As a native hungarian speaker, i understand the written slovak language a little bit, 10-15% of their words are same.

Poles says that Slovak language is more understable for them than Czech language. Even some Russina told me that Slovak language is easier for him to understand, than another West-Slavic languages.
Can we proclaim Slovak language as a lingua franca for all Slavs?

Of course not, for me Although I'm not an expert, so I do not know.
