- brutt 6y agoThese graffiti are in Ukrainian. I can read some of them without problem. 119: Се писал Манеш (This written by Manesh) 142: Господи поможи рабу своєму Івану Пере (Lord, help your slave Ivan Pere) 145: Господи поможи рабу своєму Константину і ізбав нас от всякої біди (Lord, help your slave Constantin and save us from everything bad).
- bigdict 6y agoThat language is known as Old East Slavic or Old Russian in the scientific community. Please don’t force Ukrainian nationalism on others.
- 10101 6y agoRussia old is 20 years. (Before Soviets from 1917, before Russian Empire 1720, before Moscovia 14th century, before Golden Horde). I wrote about Kiyvan Rus text/chronicles from 10th century. What are you talking about? overdosed with commie propaganda?
- bigdict 6y agoPlease don’t flame. Also don’t post from multiple accounts.
- 10101 6y agowtf? Please don't drink anymore. When you dry read little bit about Russia history, especially that part where Moscovian (Russian) ruler Ivan the Terrible (Grand Prince of Moscow from 1533 to 1547 ) completely destroyed Novgorod in Massacre of Novgorod(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_Novgorod https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_Novgorod). Yes that Novgorod, which created that old writings.
- drdaeman 6y agoTechnically, they are not in Ukrainian (well, not in what we call Ukrainian today), but in Old Slavonic. > Господи Which is actually written as г҃и (but without a visible titlo in case of 142). > всякої біди More like "вьсѧкоѧ бѣдѣ" (but I'm not sure, that's just how it looks like to me) But, yeah, anyway, most people who know modern Slavic languages that use Cyrillic scripts should be able to comprehend some of the writings. While the languages have evolved, lots of words (or, at least, their stems) are recognizable. Although there's always a danger of false cognates.
