hard sounds

[Miriam Margala]

I'm not sure about your statement "lacking in education". The west
dialect is exactly that - a dialect, in this case, used by the majority
living in and around Bratislava, it is no indication (no sign) of
lacking in education. There are different levels of hardness or softness
within the region - I would not say that the level of hardness or
softness reflects the level of education of these speakers.

>What do you mean with "common "Slavic languages?The pronunciation differs from language to language and from region to region  inside the language. Example from Slovak:di,ti,ni,li and de,te,ne,le according to grammar rules  are soft sounds,but  the people living in  west Slovakia (Bratislava and around)  pronounce them a little bit harder,in the middle of Slovakia they are very soft .Hard pronunciation of  these sounds in Slovak is a sign of lacking in  education and not agressivness.
