balkans

(Turkish or Persian, n.) The Balkans is geopolitical region that is within southeastern Europe. Within the region's several countries, there is a total of 55,000,000 people (if we are counting the Greek Islands), or 32,000,000 people within the region's peninsula.

The term "balkans" originally came from the Persian "balk", which means mud, and the Turkish suffix "kan" which is a swampy forest. However, in modern Turkish, the word "balkan" means "a chain of wooded mountains".

A home to a wide variety of cultures, countries, and consistently useless and pointless wars, the region is well known for its exportation of competent individuals with slightly nationalistic tendencies, exceptionally strong liquor, (apparently) good wine, very tasty but fat-inducing cuisinery, gästarbeiters for Western countries, and the term known as "balkanization", which is a pejorative term for the fragmentation of a larger region or state into smaller regions or states that are often hostile or uncooperative with each other because of pointless differences.

The region contains the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean, and Mediterranean seas, the Dinaric and Albanian Alps, and certain places that are either popular with tourists or underrated. The highest peak in the Balkans is Mt. Musala, and the Balkans is home to various amounts of flora and fauna.

yeah, no matter how much i don't want to admit it because it's a piece of shit, i'm from the balkans

Å¡vabo

(Serbo-Croatian, n.) - Originally coming from a word Germans from the Swabian province of Germany that have settled along the Danube and Sava rivers in the Balkans up until their mass exodus during the early days of SFR Yugoslavia, this word has since carried onto those of Balkan origin that live in German-speaking countries, that being Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. It carries a pejorative meaning towards those growing up in those countries to be those who are "spoiled" or have "sold their soul for money", seeing as if they only have a semblance for comparing their living conditions to those of their countries of origin.

1. ma jebem ti mater Å¡vabo, zasto si prodao zivot samo da zaradis koji kusur? jesi li ti lud?!
2. nema veze, sad imam novac, bolji život, inače se neću vratiti

Shkije

(n. Albanian) This word is used to denote anyone that does not speak Albanian, or is not Albanian themselves.

Usually, this word is used in a derogatory manner towards many of Albania's (un)friendly neighbours, such as the Serbs, Montenegrins, and Macedonians.

To a smaller extent, this can be used to denote Croats and Bosniaks, but in some case the Albanians of Italy use the words "shklan" and "shklerisht" to denote Italians, and the Arvanites of Greece use the word "shkla" to denote Greeks.

Although to Albanians, this isn't a word that's just supposed to be rude and offensive. However, to minorities of Albanian-majority communities, this word is often meant to degrade them and negatively portray them as a 5th column in their community.

SQ:

#1: Kam dëgjuar se shkauni (accusative shkije) u përpoq të prekte një vajzë të re në një shkollë.

#2: Vërtet?

#3: Ma jo, dhia e preku, je budalla?

čefur

(Slovene, n.) A "čefur" is a pejorative word used against non-Slovenes within their own country. The word is a calque that came from "kaffir", which means disbeliever in Arabic. Usually, this word is used towards ex-Yugoslavian people that work/reside in their country, such as Serbians, Croatians, Bosnians, Montenegrins, Macedonians, and Albanians. However, this word can also be used towards anyone that isn't even from Slovenia itself. In most cases, it's seen as offensive and a word that you shouldn't ever use.

SLO:

hej, si videl Salka?

Salko? misliš čefur?

ne, drugi Salko z Marsa, si neumen? seveda Salko!

o, v redu, no ne, danes ga nisem videl

---

EN:
