In this edition, we compare the similarities between two Slavic languages, Croatian and Russian. Russian is an East Slavic language and an official language in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and many minor or unrecognised territories. It is an unofficial but widely spoken language in Latvia, Moldova, Ukraine and to a lesser extent, the other post-Soviet states. Croatian is a South Slavic language and the official language of Croatia. In addition, it is also among the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as a minority language in Serbia, and neighboring countries. There are many similarities between the two languages, so can a Croatian speaker understand someone who is speaking Russian? or vice versa?
