In this episode, I explored a minority language that kept one very interesting feature to this very day - Sorbian.
P.S. Since Sorbian (both Upper and Lower) are small languages and the pronunciation was hard to find, it may be that /w/ is pronounced different, and I apologize for that.
The transcript & a map can be found here.
