In portuguese we say "gralha" which comes from latin (unlike every other barbarian language)

>>220793091uhmmm where is basque sweetie?
>>220795891belea? Are you a basque speaker?
>>220795935basque is a psyop, nobody actually speaks it
>>220794595did a bit of researchIt's also found in Neapolitan, Sicilian, Tarantino and some other langs. I can see Albanian or Romanian borrowing from Slavic, but Sicilian?There's also a semantic issue. No slavic language uses chornyj to refer to crows. If any of you balkanoids borrowed that word, you'd think it would just mean black, or at least be retained in some archaic usage with that meaning.As a side note, we call crows "varnos" (singular varna) and starlings "varnėnai" (singular varnėnas). Interesting to know that Lithuanian isn't the only language that makes a connection between the two in some way.
>>220793091Corvo
>>220796008Kys, basque is cool just from the virtue of being a european language predating the indo-europeans on its own.
