did a bit of research
It's also found in Neapolitan, Sicilian, Tarantino and some other langs. I can see Albanian or Romanian borrowing from Slavic, but Sicilian?
There's also a semantic issue. No slavic language uses chornyj to refer to crows. If any of you balkanoids borrowed that word, you'd think it would just mean black, or at least be retained in some archaic usage with that meaning.
As a side note, we call crows "varnos" (singular varna) and starlings "varnėnai" (singular varnėnas). Interesting to know that Lithuanian isn't the only language that makes a connection between the two in some way.
