[Sprache] Nennen Sie Ihre Jezik* doch einfach wie Sie wollen

Die grundsätzliche Benennungsschwierigkeit der "Nachfolgesprachen des Serbokroatischen" Es besteht nach wie vor große Uneinigkeit darüber, wie die Sprachen zu nennen sind, die eine kluge Berliner Kollegin einmal sehr diplomatisch als "Nachfolgesprachen des Serbokroatischen" bezeichnet hat.

[Turkey] What is your memleket? Semi-bohemian coffeehouse reflections in Izmir

Yabancı in İzmir In Izmir, I was a hampered and hobbling yabancı (foreigner) with limited contacts, with less "world" than in İstanbul.
