>I didn't realize that about Serbian and other Slavic language.
Yes, under the Habsburg rule and after the uprising after 1804, serbian language somewhat prospered dare i say, and after WW1/WW2 it decided it had enough and completely abandoned the slavic elements of itself and just embraced trend-chasing blindly the next lingua franca.

Holy shit, my sides!!
>but when reading the English literature of, say, 1750-1850, I realized i needed to learn English better.
That is the case also with serbian in some regards when i read past literature, but the point is, there is no point in trying to learn the older vocabulary because if you bring it up, contemporary peers will just cringe immensely and go back to the judeo-slop-ebonics they speak today or the belgrade-street-nigger accent and vocabulary, they should be gassed i swear to God.
