#3I am Bulgarian and I find that very hard to read. Much harder than Russian or Serbian. Many of the phonemes could be simplified to be made more universal. It feels very influenced by Polish, though, so I'd probably be easier for Central Europe Slavic countries.

My native language is Czech, and all sample texts looks very similar to Croatian or Serbian :-) Not much Polish. And yes, even for me it's very hard to read :-)
(Though, that might be because it has quite different spelling from polish. Spoken, it could be similar. It feels very ancient. :-))

I'm Russian, and I can read and understand about 90% of their sample texts. It reminds me Serbian (though I don't know it or any other Slavic languages, and I've read more Serbian and Macedonian than any other Slavic language, so maybe there's a bias because of this).
BTW, Bulgarian is harder to read for me than Serbian or Macedonian.

Wow, I'm Polish and it looks Czech/Slovakian to me.

#8This is pretty silly given that if you teleported any slav living in the range of Gdansk to Podgorica and Ljubljana to Ekaterinburg, it would probably take them a couple of weeks to gain enough proficiency to buy groceries. Hilarious misunderstandings will undoubtedly occur but if you take out the severe outliers like Bulgarian and Macedonian, this is about as useful as another hole in the head.
Russian serves reasonably well as a Slavic lingua franca, in the few marginal cases such a thing is needed to begin with.

Yep, totally agree. I'm Russian too and language is completely understandable.
