- Desovo, North Macedonia. A town in the south of North Macedonia near Prilep where almost everyone speaks 3 languages: Macedonian, Albanian and Bosnian/Serbian. The reasons why involve geopolitics ranging from the Ottoman era of the 1500s right up through the Turkish-Yugoslav relations of the 1950s.

Hey Ben I have recently found your channel. The content you offer seemed interesting, so I've decided to Subscribe to your channel. Thumbs up!
I saw that you've visited some villages near Prizren like Planjane,..
I would recommend you to visit some villages as Globocica, Restelica, Brod, Rapca, Vranista located in Dragas region, south of Prizren. In that area you'll find a people that belong to a unique minority ethnic group called Gorani people that speak Bosnian/Serbian/Macedonian. There are no many youtubers that filmed reportage vlogs in that region.
Cheers !
Gorani are Bosniaks.
You make excellent content. Always been fascinated with the rural villages in Macedonia

@@tamjansan1154 Not really. Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian are practically different variants of one and same language, but Macedonian is different.

In 18:07, the sentence I heard for so many times, is it”su kdaj tko ima ima, tko nema nema opet nema”?? I’d love to learn this sentence :)
Amazing Ben, most people from the Balkan or to be precise, people from exYU, don't even know such places exist. Even though it is understandable because during the Ottoman rule, there were no borders between today's countries and people mixed throughout the centuries.
Cheers Ben!

Interesting video. Bosnian and Serbian are pretty much the same language, and Macedonian is very similar. Albanian is a completely different language with no relations to Slavic languages. So, pretty much they can speak two languages Bosnian/Serbian/Macedonian and Albanian, but not 4.
The albanian language has its own branch among the Indo-European languages !😊
Ne pričaj gluposti. 😊
are you crazy? Macedonian is a separate language, just because its related doesn't make it the same language!!!
Only in Serbia, if you want you can talk three or four different dialects, "not understandable" to each other. Nevertheless it is the same language. In Croatia too, especially in Croatia. North Macedonia isn't different. It is the same language. In that manor I can speak, write and talk in seven different languages meanwhile never been in any other country then my own. Am I a polyglot? No! Western countries divide the same people using historical events. When you understand this, then do the maths.
@@akibosnjak8694 it is more similar to Bulgarian then to Serbo-Croatian
Weird guy (me) here, born in Croatia and was in the army in Macedonia, long time ago and now I live in Canada for almost 30 years. If you've time go to town of Shtip in Macedonia, beautiful town and LOTS of girls. It used to be 7 girls for 1 man living in that town of 40,000 people!

Your croatian/serbian/bosnian is so good man, how did you learn to speak it so fluenlty?
Serbian + Croatian + Bosnian + Montenegro = 1 language = Serbo-Croatian = Croato-Serbian.
The Albanian language is another and different language.

This is so insane. I have watched some of your earlier videos, and now you are in Desovo. My father was born in Desovo, and I have been there numerous times.
Your historic intro is spot on, and even a lot of people in Desovo do not know why they ended up there when they are natively from Sandzak. How did you hear of Desovo?
None of the Bosniaks or Macedonians speak Albanian though. But as you experienced, the Albanians speak all three languages. The Bosnian that they speak is with a Sandzak accent which you already mentioned but they also mix some Macedonian words, especially the young people. The Sandzak culture is very strong there and when people get married you will see the Sandzak flag all over. People often say that if you want to experience the real Sandzak you have to come to Macedonia.
Very impressed with your videos.
And what were the people of the Sandjak before they were incorporated into the 'Yugoslav' State. Very likely Albanian. Especially during the Ottoman empire. The Sandjak equals a mostly slavicised population group.
@@australiaprisonisland9156 thats just propaganda
@@Hater641 Look at the genetic makeup of those people. Just because they speak a slavic language today doesn't necessarily mean they were originally Slavic settlers.

That plant that was drying looked a lot like tobacco leaves.
Skopje has been inhabited by albanias as far as history remembers. It was also the capital of the vilayet of Kosova during the ottman empire and Scupi was also capital of the Dardanian province of Illyria. Albanians in MK know exactly which families have migrated from kosovo and which didnt.
practically you met almost only Albanians. because even those who call themselves Bosnian are actually Albanians who have lost their language in the last 100 years. as a consequence of Slavic assimilation. And the real polyglots are only albanians. Because albanian is totally diferent from sllav language. The others language bosnian serbian etc are the same language
Most of those Bosniaks have settled there after the fall of the ottoman empire on their way to Turkey from Bosnia and Sandzak.
There are probably some Albanians that got assimilated and are Bosniaks now but there are also Bosniaks that got assimilated and became And call themselves Albanian now.

It's difficult to believe that there's a place like this in a European country. You always imagine these countries to have a long history, interesting architecture, and stable national roots. But here, it's completely different.
Are you aware that the name Macedonia has been mentioned multiple times in the bible? Do you know how many times our architecture has been ruined by wars and earthquakes. It was mostly conquered by other nations and that's why there are no stable national roots. Regardless everything, we are macedonians and we love our country.

Its a small and poor country, like all balkan countries.
Them Ben is speaking Bosnian straight up like a G
Why was that dude carrying Windex with him all the way up the hill? Too funny. Also I understand the self-deprecating humor, and how it helps put people at ease sometimes, but we do study languages in the USA, unless you're really poor and attending a terrible public school. By the time I graduated high school, I had 4 years of German (grades 9-12), 6 years of Spanish (grades 4-9), and even a year of Latin.. so, not all of us are complete morons in the US
Thanks for your comment! I also thought the windex was hilarious. My point wasn’t that we don’t study other languages, but that we don’t learn them very well. I took Italian for 6 years between high school and college and I couldn’t speak it at all. Most of my friends took Spanish for 4 years and today they can’t even form a sentence, etc. meanwhile, everyone in this town is fluent in 3 languages
Love Macedonia 🇲🇰 beautiful
Няма македонски език!!!! Никога не е имало!
😨
the first name that comes to mind? philip the great!
It wasn’t “migration”… it was “ethnic cleansing” of the Albanian Native population. Macedonia was given to Christians by Europe, and was given a green light to depopulate it of the Muslims… so they reached an agreement with Turkey to lure them and give them vast lands in Anatolia (now 5M plus Albanians in Turkey).
If the Muslim Albanians are now 33% of Macedonia, Orthodox Albanians were forced to identify as Macedonians. Prior to Albanians being exiled to a Turkey, they were at least 2/3… and prior to the Balkan Wars which killed a lot of Albanians, it was upward of 80%…
Што глупости тропаш? Не знам дали имаш видено стари пописи за региониот Македонија, но јасно се гледа дека барем 51% од населението беше МАКЕДОНСКО. Така, не е можно да се бројат Албанците дотолку. И да додадам, дојденци сте тука во Македонија, не сте домородци. Велејќи го ова, навистина ништо немам против Албанците воопшто, но не можам да ја негирам вистината така. Штом ќе живеете во Македонија, морате да ја почитувате Македонија, затоа што таа ве гледа како син од другс мајка (бидејќи македонскиот народ е синот на Македонија). Сѐ најубаво, брат. 🇲🇰✌🏻

Pozdrav iz Makedonije, Bosanac !
Bosnian language lol is like Austrian saying I speak Austrian or Swiss saying I speak swiss! Bosnian they speak Serbski Hrvatski jezik and makedonski jezik is bulgarski with serbian accent influence!
I speak american 🇺🇸
It depends how is the language registered officialy .
Austrians are speaking German officialy registered , but in Makedonia they speak Macedonian language !
You know Cirilo and Metodius were Slav brothers Makedonian from Salonika !
Google it if you need translation !
Bosnian language is official too !
@@voskreglavincevska7080 did Alexander the Great spoke the same language?
@@olgerjovani8653
Slavs migrated in Makedonia too ,
You know how it is going with migrations all over .
Migrants are migrants , but Macedonian didn't disappear at all .
You are frustrated that Greeks didnt make migration to Europe .
You are alone Greek Mpavro Guptian .
Nobody is speaking Greek in Europe .
Alexander's language was some kind of Macedonian , of course with Helenic influence that was spread from Mesopotamia to Danube !
@@BenTheRules
yes nobody is calling you English man .
Look in the comments !
Bulgarian for long time need rehabilitation for being Fascist !They don't like to apologise to Macedonians for entering in Skopje 1943 with Gestapo / Bulgarian command !
It is more convenient to say Macedonian are Bulgar than to do an excuse !
What a shame !

Screaming in a booming voice helps with dogs too. Scream confidently not like a girl. They back down a little in aggression. And never turn your back to them.
