Asterix in different languages

This series of 18 translations was created on the initiative of Aleksandar Mikic from Serbia (1974-2021) and translated by local translators.
In addition Aleksander also coordinated 94 translations of one of the short stories from the album Asterix and the Class Act. It was his ode to mostly small or often almost forgotten languages.
