interesting, maybe numbers work like that. numbers are in Serbian/Slovak even when i am thinking in English. (everything over 10 goes by default to Serbian/Slovak).

So do you just mix Serbian and Slovak? Or is there not much difference between the two? I still have a lot to learn! I think out of all places, the Balkans/Slavic region is one of the most interesting because of your intense history. And that's saying it mildly. I've only since recently truly checked into it more than just the surface, and I'm already breaking out in hives (not the good kind!). There's just SO much! And there was me thinking the Irish were one of the people who were f&^*$% over the most...Certainly not true.
I think maybe with numbers we tend to go where it's the easiest for us. I remember counting in French, and then gradually moving to Spanish haha. ALL the time! It'll be Un - deux - trois - quatre - cinco - seis - siete LOL. But counting in English has never been an issue for me. I guess it just makes more sense in Dutch sometimes. Especially when I'm calculating things.
i would say it is similar, people that don't speak one or another would look blank at me :D
Father speaks Serbian, Mam Slovak all the time. I often mix them in a sentence more or less consciously. Also often don't notice if i am reading Latin alphabet or Cyrillic if fonts are not weird.
But i did learn both from birth.
To be honest it is kinda located in the wrong place and what ever big empire wanted to go somewhere it was on it's path.
And people are stupid and manipulated the same as everywhere else.
