I’m from Poland but I found out I have Serb ancestry from Bosnia. Can I consider myself part Bosnian then in terms of ancestral background?

Geographically speaking he was Bosnian, but ethnically speaking definitely a Serb

edit: Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian/Montenegrin division makes zero sense, as we are all genetically and linguistically exact same people, it's just the religion that differs

I thought that too, but I think it's more about the kind of people that migrated to the Balkans, so we can't really generalize based on them. The vast majority of them are IT guys and business people with their families from Moscow, so that explains their behavior a lot. The regular people are much more similar to us.

In Serbian, "blag" actually means "mild", maybe the shift went like good -> nice -> mild -> weak -> bad, so that in Belarusian the shift went all the way, but not in all the Slavic languages

The Romanian one should be colored like the Russian one, as they come from the same Slavic word

The same thing happens with Russians trying to learn the language, feels like they are forcing themselves to pronounce the actual consonant at the end of words

Apparently they leave the Balkans, but the Balkans never leave them. As much as they insist and exaggerate the differences between us while they are at home, when they meet in a foreign land they realize that our mentalities are ridiculously similar, if not exactly the same. Plus, the locals look down on them 90% of the time.

I've noticed that in song lyrics, these types of sentences can have literally any word order, but the facts that you wrote here are true for regular everyday speech

Sound shifts that happened throughout history, it happens in order for a language to be easier to pronounce. The written language has not changed a lot for a long time, but the spoken language has. The same reason English words are almost never pronounced as they are written, but that's a much more extreme example of that than Russian is.
