In this last episode on sound changes in Slavic languages, I discuss the loss of jat (ѣ).  There are a couple of things I want to say.  First, I made a mistake - this is my 16th episode, not 15th as I say in the podcast so forgive me for that. I was a bit too lazy to record it again! Second, I said ebolish and now realised it’s abolish so again, my apologies. Third, this episode is very short since I am writing my thesis and am swamped with that, so my apologies. I hope I will get more time soon in order to make longer episodes. I enjoy them as much as you do, believe me. Just give me some time.

This week, although with a slight delay, I am starting a new chapter - sound changes. In this episode, I will tell you a bit more about liquid metathesis, what is it and what consequences it left in Slavic languages.

Note: although I say *krau̯a is a Proto-Slavic word for cow, some sources list *krowa instead. You can decide which one you like better :)

I am very honored that I got the chance to talk to prof. Greenberg from the University of Kansas about various topics - his recent publications, features of Prekmurje dialect, language contact, language privilege and so much more! I enjoyed every moment of this interview, and I hope you will, too!

Because prof. Greenberg is not only a linguist, but also a musician, this episode ends with a recommendation I got from him - ´´Dark eyes´´ by Oleg Timofeyev.

In this episode, I explored a minority language that kept one very interesting feature to this very day - Sorbian.

P.S. Since Sorbian (both Upper and Lower) are small languages and the pronunciation was hard to find, it may be that /w/ is pronounced different, and I apologize for that.


The transcript & a map can be found here.

Although the quality of the sound in this episode is a bit lower than what you’re used to, I couldn’t miss the chance of  talking to these two amazing girls - Nina Tunteva & Viktorija Blazheska, founders of Jazicharnica, a blog about linguistics in Macedonian. I had a blast chatting  with them about their blog, Macedonian dialects, how my (Torlakian) dialect is close to Macedonian and many other things!
