We also have this transliterated into Cyrillic text at the web forum site.
Again, we do not post the Cyrillic version here because of this website's technical issues with anything other than a pure Latinski alphabet.

NOTE: We use a modified version of the Serbian Cyrillic Alphabet as our basis.
Why? .....primarily so that we may use the letter "J" for our "IJ" "JA" "JO" and "JE" endings, as well as sometimes those mixtures of "ie" and "ia" within a word.
We do NOT use Russian "R"* or "I-O" - instead we use "JA" and "JU"

So, did anyone see the mis-spelling of JEDINSTVO in the Message Title? ~ JedinSTOV ....
Come on guys.
Usually you are right on top of those things!

Yeah, right! In Serbian nj, lj, tj, dj, zx, cx, sx, dzx, tsx are each written as one letter, and not 2-3 like I`ve written it now. It must be a veeeeery modified version of Serbian cyrillic.

Thank you for your observation!
You are right! In our Cyrillic Slovioski we do not use all of the Serbian Cyrillic letters, because some are so foreign and unusual to most non-Serbian speakers. The idea is to have a more Slavic Slovio language, which includes both natural and systematic grammar and/or syntax - but not to create complications or confusion for Slavic speakers.

QUESTION: How much of the Slovioski paragraph above are you able to reasonably understand?
100% 50% 10%

"Blagodarim vam dla vasxju zgledeniu!

Are you talking about this?

I understand this:
"Blagodarim vam dla vasxju zgledeniu!
Imaete pravu! Po Kiriliskij Slovioski/U nasxu Kiriliskij Slovioski"
I kinda understand this:
"mi ne upotrebime vse Srbskih bukvum, ibo nekolko sou obodva tak zagrancje i neobicxnje do najvinsxih/najbolsxih... ne-Srbskih govornikum."
I don`t understand this:
"Misl jes imat vinsxe/bolsxe... Slovianskju Slovio jaziku, ktorij vklucxi obodva prirodnju i sistemnju gramatiu i/ili sintaktu"
And I understand this:
"ale ne za tvorit komplikacii ili smesxanie dla Slovianskih govornikum."

Obren,
Thank you for your response!
You wrote:

"I don't understand this:

"Misl jes imat vinsxe/bolsxe... Slovianskju Slovio jaziku, ktorij vklucxi obodva prirodnju i sistemnju gramatiu i/ili sintaktu"

THE ENGLISH FOR THIS IS:

"The idea is to have a more Slavic Slovio language, which includes both natural and systematic grammar and/or syntax..."

I believe that Serbian or Croatian is your native language?
It is not mine; but here is my attempt to translate this into Croatian:

Ideja je da imate visxe slavenskom Slovio jeziku, sxto ukljucxuje oboje/obadva prirodne i sustavne gramatike i/ili sintaksa..."
____________________________

Here are my "notes" for this sentence - as a comparison to the Croatian:

1, "Misl" is a Slovio Level 1 word (first choice). "Idea" is 2nd choice in Slovio dictionary. Slovioski, of course, uses the Slovio dictionary, so, "misl" was used - which is seen in the CROATIAN verb "to think" - misliti.

2. "Vinsxe" is NOT a SLOVIO word. It is a "test" SLOVIOSKI word for "more". The other Slavic languages use:
HR = visxe
PL = viense
CZ = vice
SK = viac
SL = bolj
UR = bilsx
RU = boljeje
BL = po, povecxe
As an alternative, a modified SLOVIO word is included - "bolsxe" (in SLOVIO, it is just "bolsx").

3. "ktorij" is Slovioski masculine word for "which" or "that"; SLOVIO version is "ktor"
Apparently, "sxto" is the Croatian equivalent. Most of the Western Slavic languages, as well as Russian and Ukrainian, use some form of "ktore" or "kotore"

4. "vklucxi" is SLOVIOSKI third person singular of the verb "vklucxit". SLOVIO would write the same third person singular as "vklucxijt".

To me this is a very similar word as the Croatian word "ukljucxuje". As you may know, the various Slavic languages most often have the same "root" word - "-kljucx-" and use differnt prefixes: "v-" "u-" "za-" and different suffixes - in this instance, different verb tense endings.

5. The remaining text of the sentence does not need further comment, because it is so similar to Croatian.

Thank you again, Obren, for your response.
SR

I`m Serbian. I also speak a little bit of Russian. There is almost no difference between Serbian and Croatian, but most Croatians don`t know the Serbian cyrillic. When I said "I don`t understand this", what I meant was that I wouldn`t have understood it without the English translation, so there was no need to translate it to my language, but since you did, I`ll tell your mistakes.

Ideja je da imate visxe slOvenskI Slovio jezik* (no u), KOJI ukljucxuje I prirodnU i gramatikU i/ili sintaksU...
*I don`t understand why you put the word "jezik" there, because it`s not necessary, and it would sound better without it
**I`m not sure how this should be translated, but it shouldn`t be sustavne

"3. "ktorij" is Slovioski masculine word for "which" or "that"; SLOVIO version is "ktor"
Apparently, "sxto" is the Croatian equivalent. Most of the Western Slavic languages, as well as Russian and Ukrainian, use some form of "ktore" or "kotore" "

We have koji(m.s.), koja(f.s.), koje(n.s.), koji(m.pl.), koje(f.pl.), koja(n.pl.), but in some cases, it can be translated as sxto (I`m talking about the English which, I don`t know is it the same case with the Slovioski ktorij), like you said.

Although you had mistakes, I would be able to understand what you wrote without the English translation.

I didn`t still tell you how much of the first text I understood. Wwweeeellll...... I understood the kerhel (essence) of most of the text. That`s actualy pretty good, isn`t it?

Obren,
Nice to "chat" with your earlier.
Some more komentari:

"jazik" - I agree with you. Originally I did not include this word; but added it because I thought it would make it clearer to the reader that we were talking about a "language" (which would otherwise be "silently understood") - also, because "ktorij" is masculine - and it is masculine because of the word "jazik". Most non-Slavic speakers do not understand the declensions of adjectives and nouns and their relationships. For those of us who learned our Slavic language naturally, it comes as a "second sense."
(altho I sometimes now get confused because of my constantly shifting languages)

"sustavne" - I was looking for the Serbo-Croatian equivalent to "systematic." The word "sustavne" does not "feel correct" to me - but I was relying upon an ONLINE dictionary. I do work with Serbo-Croatian speakers everyday - but when I wrote my translation, they were already in bed sleeping (I am a 9 or 10 hour time difference away).
______________________________

I am happy to write that the group of colleagues with whom I work daily - located in California, Zagreb, Belgrade, Praha (and soon, Warsaw) - all are communicating very well in Slovio and Slovioski - in fact, some do so much better than I do.
Of course, there are unique "dialects" of Slovioski - because we do not have our common online dictionary working yet. The Serbo-Croatian Slovioski is different from the Czech Slovioski - but, because we recently made some grammatical rules changes, those "differences" may be resolved**

** the issue was with respect to the endings for Objective Case (Dative, Locative, Prepositional and Accusative) and the Instrumental Case.

If you look above several posts, the "endings" for these cases are now structured so that they don't conflict with the other Slavic languages' endings for the same cases (...well... almost. We had to "give in" to allow our Russian writers to use alternatively an "-am" Objective plural ending.

a good word for "more" is the Slovianski visze
but I would say "visze mnogo Slovjanskih jazikov" in Slovianski if I'm understanding the text correctly

For SLOVIOSKI we are still testing the word:

vinsxe

for "more".
We looked at "visxe" - however, because it has the meaning of "higher" in several Slavic languages, we opted to use the Polish style word "wiencej" (of course the "n" is representative of the sound of "e" with attached bottom accent "," within a word).

Thus,

"velikij" - big
"vinsxe-velikij" - bigger
"naj-vinsxe-velikij" - biggest

or

"velikij" - big
"veliksxij" - bigger
"najveliksxij" - biggest
