This language guide offers basic vocabulary

to help you get around Eastern Europe. For
more extensive coverage of the languages
included in this guide, pick up a copy of
Lonely Planets Eastern Europe Phrasebook
or Baltic Phrasebook.
Some of the languages in this chapter
use polite and informal modes of address
(indicated by the abbreviations pol and
inf respectively). Use the polite form
when addressing older people, officials or
service staff.
ALBANIAN
PRONUNCIATION
Written Albanian is phonetically consistent and pronunciation shouldnt pose too
many problems for English speakers. Each
vowel in a diphthong is pronounced and
the rr is trilled. However, Albanian possesses certain letters that are present in
English but rendered differently. These
include:
often silent; at the beginning of a

word its like the a in ago
as the ts in bits
as the ch in church
th
x
xh
as the th in this
as the gy in hogyard
as the y in yellow
between ch and ky, similar to the
cu in cure
as in thistle
as the dz in adze
as the j in jewel

(song). Sometimes, however, the vowel e

is the same in both languages, as in selo
(village). There are also a number of variations in vocabulary between the two languages. We havent marked these differences
in pronunciation in the following words
and phrases, but youll still be understood,
even with a Croatian lilt to your language.
Where significant differences occur, weve
included both, with Croatian marked (C)
and Serbian marked (S).

The writing systems of Croatian and Serbian are phonetically consistent: every letter is pronounced and its sound will not
vary from word to word. With regard to the
position of stress, only one rule can be
given: the last syllable of a word is never
stressed. In most cases the accent falls on
the first vowel in the word.
Serbian uses both the Cyrillic and Roman
alphabet, so its worth familiarising yourself
with the latter (see p961). Croatian uses a
Roman alphabet.
The principal difference between Serbian
and Croatian is in the pronunciation of the
vowel e in certain words. A long e in
Serbian becomes ije in Croatian (eg reka,
rijeka (river), and a short e in Serbian becomes je in Croatian, eg pesma, pjesma

CZECH
PRONUNCIATION
Many Czech letters are pronounced as per
their English counterparts. An accent
lengthens a vowel and the stress is always
on the first syllable. Words are pronounced as written, so if you follow the
guidelines below you should have no trouble being understood. When consulting
indexes on Czech maps, be aware that ch
comes after h.

HUNGARIAN
PRONUNCIATION
The pronunciation of Hungarian consonants can be simplified by pronouncing
them more or less as in English; the exceptions are listed below. Double consonants
ll, tt and dd arent pronounced as one letter
as in English but lengthened so you can
almost hear them as separate letters. Also,
cs, zs, gy and sz (consonant clusters) are
separate letters in Hungarian and appear
that way in telephone books and other
alphabetical listings. For example, the word
cukor (sugar) appears in the dictionary before csak (only).
c
cs
gy
j
ly
ny
r
s
sz
ty
w
zs
as the ts in hats
as the ch in church
as the j in jury
as the y in yes
as the y in yes
as the ni in onion
like a slightly trilled Scottish r
as the sh in ship
as the s in set
as the tu in British English tube
as v (found in foreign words only)
Vowels are a bit trickier, and the semantic

difference between a, e or o with and without an accent mark is great. For example,
ht means back while hat means six.
a
as the o in hot
as in father
short, as in set
as the e in they with no y sound
as in hit but shorter
as the i in police
as in open
a longer version of o above
as the u in burst without the r
sound
a longer version of above
as in pull
as the ue in blue

MACEDONIAN
There are 31 letters in the Macedonian
Cyrillic alphabet and its well worth familiarising yourself with it (see p961). Stress
usually falls on the third syllable from the
end in words with three syllables or more.
If the word has only two syllables, the first
is usually stressed. There are exceptions,
such as new borrowings and other foreign

ROMANIAN
Until the mid-19th century, Romanian
was written in the Cyrillic alphabet. Today
Romanian employs 28 Latin letters, some
of which bear accents. At the beginning of
a word, e and i are pronounced ye and
yi, while at the end of a word i is virtually
silent. At the end of a word ii is pronounced
ee. Word stress is usually on the second
last syllable.

CYRILLIC ROMAN PRONUNCIATION
Around 70% of the Ukrainian language is

identical or similar to Russian and Belarusian.
The Cyrillic alphabet chart opposite covers
the majority of letters used in the Ukrainian
alphabet. Ukrainian has three additional letters not found in Russian, , , and , all of
which are neutral vowel sounds (the Russian letter is often replaced by a Ukrainian
). The Ukrainian usually has a soft h
sound. The Ukrainian alphabet doesnt include the Russian letters , and , and has
no hard sign, , although it does include the
soft sign, . These differences between the
two languages are sometimes quite simple
in practice: for example, the town of
Chernigov in Russian is Chernihiv in Ukrainian. Overall, Ukrainian is softer sounding
and less guttural than Russian.
The - (-ya) ending for nouns and names
in Russian (especially in street names) is
dropped in Ukrainian, and the letter is
transliterated as y in Ukrainian, whereas in
Russian its transliterated as i, eg a street
named Deribasovskaya in Russian would be
Derybasivska in Ukrainian.

THE CYRILLIC ALPHABET
Because of Ukraines history of domination

by outside powers, the language was often
considered inferior or subservient to the
dominant languages of the time Russian
in the east, Polish in the west. Today, the
Ukrainian language is slowly being revived,
and in 1990 it was adopted as the official
language. Russian is understood everywhere by everyone, and it still remains the
principal language travellers will need.
Please.

The sounds of , , and are weaker

when the stress in the word does not fall on
them, eg in (voda, water) the stress
falls on the second syllable, so its pronounced va-DA. The vowel only follows
other vowels in so-called diphthongs, eg
oy, ey/yey. Russians usually print
without the dots, a source of confusion in
pronunciation.
The voiced consonants , , , , and
are not voiced at the end of words or before voiceless consonants. For example,
(bread) is pronounced khlyep. The
in the common adjective endings - and
- is pronounced v.

PRONUNCIATION
Slovene pronunciation isnt difficult. The

alphabet consists of 25 letters, most of
which are very similar to English. It doesnt
have the letters q, w, x and y, but you
will find , , , , , and . Each letter
represents only one sound, with very few
exceptions. The letters l and v are both pronounced like the English w when they
occur at the end of syllables and before vowels. Though words like trn (thorn) look unpronounceable, most Slovenes (depending
on dialect) add a short vowel like an a or
the German in front of the r to give a
Scots pronunciation of tern or tarn. Here
is a list of letters specific to Slovene:
Good day.
Goodbye.
Yes.
No.
Please.
Thank you (very
much).
Youre welcome.
Excuse me.
