I find linguistics and the evolution of various languages and dialects quite interesting. I appreciate your explanations of the origins of Old Slavonic and the examples you give.
Last two year I decided to learn old church slavonic but I didn't make it because old church slavonic grammar is extremely complex and it sounding system are very difficult.
You´re right there, for sure, but still I think it´s worth while trying. On the other hand, perhaps devoting one´s energy to a modern Slavic language with, say, rich literature or an interesting country to visit, would be a nice alternative...
🙏🙏🙏. In my opinion I think that Old church slavonic alphabet (old cyrillic alphabelt) is much better that Latin alphabet. Although the latin alphabet is the most widespread alphabet in the world, latin alphabet have some difficulties to write other languages because Latin alphabet have small amount of letters compare to Old church slavonic letters and old church slavonic(old cyrillic alphabet) have very rich in sounding system that don't exist in Latin alphabet. If there is a alphabet that can be used to write any languages I think it may be OSC alphabet. I respect to the Saints who created this perfect writing system in the world. They are truly genius people. If I could I would use OCS letters to my language to write instead of Latin alphabet. It's just my opinion.
@@khantsal2305 Yes, St Methodios and Konstantinos founded a really good alphabet for the rich Slavic phonological inventory. Some peoples tried to enrich the Latin alphabet with the peculiar sounds of their own languages, but this didn´t become widespread, like, in Slovak we have to use č, š, ň, á, ô and other graphs to make the writing fit for our language. English went another direction and has made the Roman script one of the most complicated and illogical system in the world, perhaps only beaten by Japanese and Thai writing... What is your language?
@@khantsal2305I see. Tamil has a very rich phonological inventory too - those three L´s... But I think your original script is well apt for the language, isn´t it?
Thank you for this comment. I had to generalise a bit here as these Macedonian phonemes have a wide range of realisations - kj - ć - šč - št, and gj - dź - ždž - žd...

Tj, dj as sht and zhd is preserved only in Bulgarian. In Macedonian it is kj and gj
