     Яки ґод да нам идентитет, тото цо нас одредзує по походзеню родичох, по язику котри бешедуєме, по вири лєбо нєвереню, найважнєйше же зме шицки перше людзе.

     Whatever kind of identity it gives us, this is what defines us, by our parents' origin, by the language we speak, by belief or disbelief, the most important thing is that we are all human beings first.

     На початку зме ище єдного календарского року и весело зме дочекали його приход. Нє знаме цо нам принєше, окреме же знаме же войни, хтори ше преляли и до того року, кельо ґод су далєко, охабяю пошлїдки и на нас шицких.

     Na počatku zme išče jednoho kalendarskoho roku i veselo zme dočekali joho prixod. Nje zname co nam prinješe, okreme že zname že vojni, xtori še preljali i do toho roku, kelʹo god su daljeko, oxabjaju pošljidki i na nas šickix.

     We are at the beginning of one more calendar year and we cheerfully awaited its arrival. We don't know what it will bring us, except that we know that the wars that have spilled over into this year, however far away they are, are leaving their effects on all of us.

• гоч (hoč) is placed before the interrogative pronoun; ґод (god) is placed after it. For instance, гоч дзе (hoč dze, “wherever”), but дзе ґод (dze god, “wherever”).
• Not mentioned in any dictionaries (thus possibly proscribed), but is nonetheless a somewhat common Serbism even in writing.
