In linguistics, mutual intelligibility is a relationship between languages or dialects in which speakers of different but related varieties can readily understand each other without intentional study or special effort. It is generally used as the most important criterion for distinguishing languages from dialects, although sociolinguistic factors are often also used.
Intelligibility between languages can be asymmetric, with speakers of one understanding more of the other than speakers of the other understanding the first. When it is relatively symmetric, it is characterized as "mutual". It exists in differing degrees among many related or geographically proximate languages of the world, often in the context of a dialect continuum.
For individuals to achieve moderate proficiency or understanding in a language (called L2) other than their first language (L1) typically requires considerable time and effort through study and/or practical application. However, many groups of languages are partly mutually intelligible, i.e. most speakers of one language find it relatively easy to achieve some degree of understanding in the related language(s). Often the languages are genetically related, and they are likely to be similar to each other in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or other features.
The Slavic languages (also called Slavonic languages) are the Indo-European languages native to the Slavic peoples, originary from Eastern Europe. They are believed to descend from a proto-language called Proto-Slavic spoken during the Early Middle Ages, which in turn would descend from the earlier Proto-Balto-Slavic language, connecting the Slavic languages to the Baltic languages as the Balto-Slavic group of the Indo-European family.
The Slavic languages are divided intro three subgroups: East, West and South, which together constitute more than twenty languages. Of these, ten have at least one million speakers and official status as the national languages of their countries: Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian (of the East group), Polish, Czech and Slovak (of the West group) and Slovene, Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian and Bulgarian (of the South group).
The current geographic distribution of natively spoken Slavic languages covers Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Eastern parts of Central Europe and all of the territory of Russia, which includes Northern and Central-North Asia. Furthermore, the diasporas of many Slavic peoples stablished isolated minorities of speakers of their languages all around the globe. According to sources, the number of speakers of all Slavic languages together is around 315 million.

In this video you can listen to a bilingual conversation in Polish and Slovak. Neither of us studied each other's languages before. We are testing here to what extent Polish and Slovak are mutually intelligible.
How to classify a variety of speech as either a language or a dialect is one of those never-ending linguistic debates. Here I give my 2 cents. I look at 3 main criteria: mutual intelligibility, sharing a standard written language that serves as a bridge for cross-dialect communication, and political bullshit.

Welcome to my channel, in which I'll be giving answers to questions I frequently get about languages. Please excuse abundant sarcasm and references to Harry Potter. Feel free to direct any questions or requests for future videos to andrewexplainslanguages@gmail.com. In this first video, I explain some basic differences between Chinese (Mandarin) and Japanese while giving examples. My next video will probably talk about mutual intelligibility between Romance languages, and specifically differences in the use of their past tenses. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert and have no degree in linguistics or world languages. I simply have an interest in and experience studying a variety of languages. I apologize for any mistakes I may make while explaining these very complex concepts in the simpl...

Comanche /kəˈmæntʃiː/ is a Uto-Aztecan language spoken by the Comanche people, who split off from the Shoshone soon after they acquired horses around 1705.The Comanche language and the Shoshoni language are therefore quite similar, although certain consonant changes in Comanche have inhibited mutual intelligibility.The name "Comanche" comes from the Ute word kɨmantsi meaning "enemy, stranger".Their own name for the language is nʉmʉ tekwapʉ which means "language of the people". ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- About the author(s): kewint (talk) License: Public domain Author(s): kewint talk ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- This channel is dedicated to make Wikipedia, one of the biggest knowledge databases in the world available to people with limited vision.

Video of my presentation at the 6th Annual Conference of English as a Lingua Franca (Rome, Italy, 5 September 2013). I've subtitled it due to poor audio quality. The full title was: "Application of the Lingua Franca Core in promoting intelligibility in multilingual classrooms."
In this video from http://www.firealarmsonline.com, I show you a brand new voice intelligibility meter from SDi. This is the VOX01 and it is quite versatile and powerful for its small size. I had the pleasure of working with one of this units on a recent government project and everyone was impressed with its abilities. The only down side is the fact that it only shows a reading in STI (Speech Transmission Index) and not CIS (Common Intelligibility Scale). Some AHJ will want to see CIS even though NFPA 72 refers to STI. With that said, I explain in this video how to use a little mathematical equation to get the CIS scale based on your STI reading. The VOX01 also has a dB meter along with the ability to import database readings to your computer. Lastly they provide you with a thumb dr...
This session presents an efficient, collaborative, and motivating program for interprofessional education (IPE). Developed over 3 years at the Touro College School of Health Sciences in conjunction with the Master’s Program in Speech-Language Pathology, the program utilizes simulated IPE case management, faculty training, and curricular integration. This session was presented at the 2016 ASHA Convention in Philadelphia. To earn ASHA CEUs for this video, go to http://www.asha.org/Practice/Learn-More-About--IPE-IPP/
