What are other languages similar to Croatian?

Croats speak 3 langauges which are part of Standard Croatian: Kaikavian, Chakavian and Stokavian. Stokavian has varieties in Croatian and Serbian, though the grammar and vocabulary are not the same.

Kaikavian and Chakavian are more closer to Western-Slavic languages, including Russian.

Some examples:

dažd,dašč = rain (but Shtokavian: kiša)

hiža, dom = house,home (shtokavian: kuća)

Kaj delaš? (kai) & Kak dela? (russian)

črn, morje (kai) ... vs crn, more (shtokavian)

Kaikavian forms future tense similar to Western-Slavic langauges (ja bum radil, ti buš išel, mi bumo delali...)

"Let's go": ideme/pemo/gremo (kai,cha) vs idemo,ajmo (shtokavian)

Idem doma vs Idem kući.

And culturally Kai Croats have always been part of Central Europe where dominates German/Hungarian/Slavic culture, Cha Croats more Romance/Mediterannean culture the rest - regions that were under Ottoman Empire - belong to South-Eastern European cultural belt (Balkans). This can be seen in immaterial and material cultlure such as architecture, national dresses, folk music, similarities and differences in languages etc.

The accent in Kai and Cha is rarely on the first syllablewhereas Shtokavian and Standard Croatian tend to use it mostly on the first syllable.

Languages closer to Standard Croatian (which is based mostly on Western Shtokavian spoken in Croatia and Bosnia) are Serbian, Macedon, Bulgarian.
