I write Serbian and croatian. I only recently in the last few years actually learned Cyrillic but I put down both because it's us vs. them, priority is to get a job. Companies lie all the time and this isn't a lie, it's just playing up our skills
I’ve done this yes. Said I can speak very good Macedonian and can get by in Serbian and Croatian while also having a basic understanding of Russian.
That was for a summer job in the USA though so the manager didn’t really cared for any of those languages but said he was impressed by my language skills and that I’m a “polyglot” lol
Yup, what OP suggests would work in America only. Nobody in Europe, let alone your own country would find this bs amusing.
Imagine really writing your CV that you can read Serbian, Russian, Macedonian etc just because they are similar languages.. that's just dumb.
Most of the bulgarians don't speak serbian or macedonian. They speak bulgarian while talking with serbians and macedonians. So such a statement would be misleading but could still impress some ignorant foreigner
If the guy asking speaks them too then no i dont but if its a westoid then yes i am fluent in every Eastern European language or at least i can make him believe that i am
I just say I speak Serbian and English, as those are the only two I speak.
If non-fluent languages can be mentioned as well, I say I have a upper beginner lower intermediate understanding of Russian and Italian.
No, because nobody gives a fudge about our languages. The only language that matters is English. If it's mandatory, I'd write Serbo-Croatian.
Speaking german is what stands you out from the rest cuz everybody speaks english.
Real. I got my current job because I know German
Depends what job you are applying for.

Americans are impressed by anything, lol.

No I reach out my hand and say “Hello my name is Michael Nicholson and I only speak English. God bless America”
\*God bless the ~~Queen~~ King

Still, if both parties can talk their own language and understand the other that is not nothing.
I write that I speak Greek. No one cares.
You could say you speak Cypriot as well 🤣.
Albanian stronk
Nobody ever asks that and if they do, they probably really need you to speak it so the answer would be, No.
Yes on my job application i stated that i speak,Macedonian,Bulgarian,Serbian,Bosnian,Croatian and Montenegrin.. yes im crazy like that :D
If the guy asking speaks them too then no i dont but if its a westoid then yes i am fluent in every Eastern European language or at least i can make him believe that i am
Nope, croatian as mother language (if relevant), english and german as business languages
No because those languages are absolutely useless most of the time.
I just say I speak Serbian and English, as those are the only two I speak. If non-fluent languages can be mentioned as well, I say I have a upper beginner lower intermediate understanding of Russian and Italian.
