Re: [IRCA] Fwd: [mwcircle] Do you know your languages?

Mebbe 20+ years at CJVB/1470 in Vancouver sharpened my ears, but the 
only one that really threw me was the answer requiring Maltese.

Um, I also notice two questions (I think) have choices which include 
both Bosnian and Serbian... gimme a break... I know the 
Serbs/Croats/Bosnians/Montenegrins will start throwing rocks at you if 
you link them, but their spoken language is as close as Brit/North 
American English.

Ah, the international broadcasters of Cold War Days after all 
transmitted in <Serbo-Croatian>.

At 'VB in the 70's, we had to separate the programming block of the 
Croats and Serbs with a Slovenian segment to keep them satisfied.
