I cannot classify Bielorussian because I have never heard it, sorry
Wowo
It sounds more like Polish than Russian! Anyway it's a typical Slavonic language
Croatian is the nicest one :)
I love it!
I wonder why people say that Portuguese sounds like Russian. They sound nothing alike. Portuguese sounds more like Dutch.
they sound quite similar.. much than romance languages. Are they intelegible as well?
to GuestGuest:
What dialect are you exposed to when it comes to Portuguese? Brazilian or Continental?
Dutch has more vowels when spoken than any Northeastern Slavonic language.
Portuguese intonation from Lisbon tends to be marked as a Polish accent's intonation and the usual Portuguese accent when they speak English sounds nearly identical to a "Russian Spy" accent (like a mix of Russian, Polish and Eastern Bulgarian).
Although spoken Portuguese consonants sound closer to Polish, their stressed, closed vowels begin to sound like Russian stressed vowels.
Example, closed o is like uo, closed e is like ie.
And all Portuguese unstressed a sounds like Russian/Bulgarian schwa.
Portuguese pronounce prenda like /prʲen'də/ whilst Brazilians pronounce it like /pren'dɐ/.
With that, Portuguese from Portugal can definitely be mistaken for Russian.
Slovak and Ukrainian definetely!
