    Besides the fact that I don't speak Polish and it, therefore, sounds sort of confusing to me, I think it sounds like a beautiful, intricate language.

    If you were always curious, how foreigners
    hear polish language copy one of these texts
    and paste it here. It will give some idea and
    kind of a vibe, how our speech could sound...

    Polish sounds like the wind blowing through a newspaper.

    I can understand that for polish speakers czech sounds like a kindergarden slavic, but what does slovene sound to you, being even much softer than czech?

    Less than czech, slovene is closer to slavic average, and sounds like czech crossed with italian.

    The main reason why czech sounds like childlish is ultramaximum use of deminituve forms seemingly
    used in every second word plus long vowels combined with stress on the first sylable. The softness
    in general is lower than in polish, but what is very noticable for polish speaker is soft "i" there where
    in polish is y, especially after r, t, d, c, s, z, ż, sz, cz, dż, rz, which are usually hard in polish.

    All of that combined together gives a strong impression that this tounge sounds like childlish speech.
    To the lower degree it applies also to Slovak, Lusatian and Slovene, but they are faaar behind Czech

    Wenedyk <3 Jan Van Steenbergen is a conlang genius. As an Esperantist, it is natural I love conlangs.
