You don't know what a true translation challenge is until you try to translate traditional Bosnian/Balkan food into English.

I wrote about a game called Dredge. You may read it... if you understand Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian, or use translate.

A lot easier for Bosnian in that it uses a Latin alphabet. Also got earwormed by Krivo Je More 2 (The Sea Is Wrong 2) by Dubioza Kolectiv music.youtube.com/watch?v=xPfi

Bosnia does not have a long coastline; as in many other Slavic languages, its word for sea is "more", which descended with little change from Proto-Indo-European *mori-, something like this:

🔈ancientsounds.net/eastern-orig

English "mere" (i.e. lake) descends from the same root:
🔈ancientsounds.net/eastern-orig

So do Latin mare, French mer, German meer, Irish muir, Welsh môr, Lithuanian mãrė, and Ossetian mal.
