> of these letters are pronounced with a vowel maybe in English but not in Slavic languages (at least not in western Slavic). "prst skrz krk" [ˈpr̩st] [ˈskr̩

  Western slavic languages still use a version of the 'Close unrounded central vowel' implicitly in pronounciation, even though it is not represented in writing. An example of this would be words in Romanian (which has a character representation for this sound) that were adopted from slavic languages. E.g. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/b%C3%A2rlog#Romanian https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/b%C3%A2rlog#Romanian

    But southern slavic languages lost that and we really just roll that r and pretend that it's just a vowel.
