ArchivesBut the fluency or not in Russian
in reply to a message by jennifer
has nothing to do with the general linguistic knowledge, especially related with Slavic languages (to know that Albanian is not a Slavic language but has its own branche/group in the Indo-European tree of languages), nor with the philological knowledge about common Slavic lexic and roots, nor (more important) with the knowledge about linguistic ressources to research roots and etymologies (the usual modern dictionaries can be useful, but are not professional tools
in etymological researches).

And one needs to realize that...
Practically speaking, while you can safely carry over common knowledge from Russian to another East Slavic language, like Ukrainian, it is not so straightforward with languages from other branches of the Slavic group, like Polish (which is West Slavic).

Well,
after her comments about the information being wrong, Albanian as Slavic language, Macedonian as non Slavic language, the spelling of "Hellinistic" instead of "Hellenistic" and the sentence "Or Lithuanian and Latvian, wherever they fall.", I'm very concerned for the level of some colleges in linguistic fields (she said that she has a BA in Russian and another one in Spanish).
