    Well a lot of the languages in the area are based off of Old Church Slavonic, so russian, polish, ukrainian, czech, etc are all kinda close.

    Old Church Slavonic as u name it mu way old slavonic is whriten by two brothers Chiril (i think its readed in eng) and Methody those tho dudes are born in Solun-Tesaloniki as the greeks now call it wich was macedonian teritory till like 1913 or somn
    so they are quite macedonian and they are amongst the bigest holy dudes here

    ahhhhh!!! stop it!!! it reminds me of my linguistics teacher! :eek:
    lol
    as you know it's the same thing in serbia...

    well... it looks nice trevor, but i dont think it's right. :p instead of the first letter try just E. and... damn, it would be much better if you could hear me pronouncing it.

    This isn't nearly as pretty, but I think it is more right. Although I do think it needs a soft accent, but whatever.

    Is that even cose in Serbian?

    yeah, it's the same in russian. :)

    and in serbian you just have to put J before it and that's it. :)

    I thought it was Jell-ay-nuh. :D

    Cause I didn't know where you lived for the longest some so I never really considered the soft J.

    ahah that reminds me of Anchorman. :D

    "I believe its pronounced "jaw-ging"... perhaps "yogging" with a soft J... I'm not really sure... anyhow, apparently you just run.. for an extended period of time. :D "
