Croatian Slovak
58 of the 2,000 commonest words in each are the same — 3% of either list.

A shared word is not proof of a shared root. Two languages can land on the same spelling by borrowing from a third — that is all tren and bomba are — and a word that looks the same can still be said quite differently. What this list is good for is the head start.

The speaker plays the voice the LangX app uses for that language — synthesised, not a native speaker, so treat it as a guide.

The overlap is the easy part.

The rest comes from using it with someone who speaks it.
