How Has Language Contact Influenced the Development of Languages in the Balkan Region? In this informative video, we will take you on a journey through the fascinating evolution of languages in the Balkan region. The Balkans are known for their rich history and diverse linguistic heritage, with languages from various branches of the Indo-European family and some non-Indo-European languages, such as Turkish. Throughout this video, we’ll discuss how centuries of interaction among different languages have led to surprising similarities in grammar, syntax, and phonology.

We will highlight the concept of the "Balkan sprachbund," which illustrates how languages from distinct families have adopted similar features. You’ll learn about the unique aspect of evidentiality in these languages and how it has been influenced by contact with Turkish. Additionally, we’ll explore the shift towards more analytic structures in languages like Bulgarian and Macedonian.
