Summary:"Water, Whiskey, and Vodka -- these words seem to have nothing in common but in Slavic languages, each of them comes from the same root. In this book, Danko Sipka leads us through the fascinating history and development of Slavic languages, teaching us how to understand its speakers along the way. Accessible and engaging, this book tells the story of what a Slavic language is, how they developed into the languages we know and study today, and the cultural nuances between each language and the people who speak them. Rooted in linguistics, the book also addresses the sociolinguistic context of Slavic languages, touching on the historical events, cultural shifts and differences that can help us understand the languages we call Slavic"--
