The fact the letters look the same fool us into thinking we know how to
pronounce the words.
Well, southern Slavic languages such as Croatian (my native), Serbian,
Bosnian, Montenegrian are much simpler in that regard: the main rule
is "read as it is written", letter by letter. So everything is written
fonetically.
The main complication with those languages is very complicated grammar
and word forms with lots of prefixes, sufixes, etc.
Aactually all those languages are almost the same with more than 90%
common words and rules, so we can understand each other normally. Only
politicians and nationalists insist on differences (Serbian is not
Croatian and vice versa).
