About

This database system is a collection of 'false friends' (shared words having different meanings) between Slavic languages, e.g. Russian–Polish, Macedonian–Upper Sorbian, Belarusian–Serbian, etc.

Read more about the database here.

The database system was initially published in 2020 on the Danish Portal for Slavonic, Balkan and East European Studies. As I do not have the ressources to maintain the code anymore, I have decided to publish the code on Github to anyone.
