Hi !
We have a February topic. So why not doing one about names of month that don't come from the too famous latin names...
I discovered years ago, that croatian (but not serbian) uses typical names for months and after that, I've found a quite nice list. Sometimes latin and typical names are used both, sometimes not. Somtimes also, latin and typical names coexist. find latin name, it's quite easy !!!
Correct me if there are errors...
This is what I have:
Croatian Serbian uses latin names
siječanj, veljača, o?ujak, travanj, svibanj, lipanj, srpanj, kolovoz, rujan, listopad, studeni, prosinac

Being French, I'd like to use those names again... although I'm not particularily fan of Napoleon !!!
Romanian Uses latin names but these names also existed, they sometimes strangely remember Republican Calendary... would it be inspired by it?

Can someone complete this list?? I know some language like Japanese or Chinese have other systems too but it's just too much, I've limited my search to Europe and some little part of Asia....
We can also start to speak about it, and try to compare/explain etymologies etc etc. I think it can be interesting, don't you think too?
