#and they always use the dialects spoken in SW πŸ‡­πŸ‡· and SE πŸ‡·πŸ‡Έ as examples of why πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡­πŸ‡·-ian cannot be the same language

#i just came across a πŸ‡­πŸ‡· girls tiktok where shes asking abt the meaning of a word#and most of the comment section is ppl being very confused w some boomers and older genx-ers being like πŸ˜‘πŸ™„ kids these days.. not knowing#something so BASIC!#the word is the name of dried pork belly/sides apparently but its only used in south west πŸ‡­πŸ‡·#now this is making me feel so incredibly amused and vindicated bc ive been seeing a rising nr of 'linguists' claiming πŸ‡­πŸ‡· and πŸ‡·πŸ‡Έ are two#completely different languages and that there is no such thing as 'ser/bo-cro/atian'#and they always use the dialects spoken in SW πŸ‡­πŸ‡· and SE πŸ‡·πŸ‡Έ as examples of why πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡­πŸ‡·-ian cannot be the same language#i guarantee you that if you chose 10 random ppl from SW πŸ‡­πŸ‡·; from zagr/eb; from belg/rade and SE πŸ‡·πŸ‡Έ each#the people who would understand each other best would be ppl from ZG and BG#also if you took dialects of two specific regions (especially influenced by another two languages each) you could go claiming eng is not eng#in say new/ orleans & engl/and near scotl/and & a small town in south af/rica#ge/rman isnt the same in north ger/many aus/tria and switz/erland and yet its still called german#same goes for fre/nch & any other language that spans a lot of territory and population#πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡­πŸ‡·ian (or πŸ‡­πŸ‡·πŸ‡·πŸ‡Έian) absolutely 1000% is a same language just with a lot of dialects#(purely linguistically speaking not culturally/historically)#probably could word all this better but im tired and sleepy so it is what it is
