    They say that the Eastern Romans discovered the slavs Squatting and dancing to hard bass in there villages for a ritual. Oftentimes the romans would state that these people would fight in combat with an ancient battle armor what is called today as Adidas.

    Slavs were called Wend/vend/vind/ by their neighbors. Wend means kin, tribe. Slav is from slavic language and from "słowo" "słowianie" those who speak one language. And we called Germans "Niemcy" this word from "niemi" - it means voiceless because we could not communicate with each other.

  • @TheMikac
    We are all brothers we should stop fighting each other,we are all from the same Slavic Tribe love you my slavic brothers!
  • Just a reminder that Yugo Slavs were slaved by the Turks for 500 years and they managed to preserve their culture and national indendity as well as fight off the Turks.
  • Slav is actually an incorrect pronunciation that has set roots in the west. The correct one is Slov, from Slovo, which means word. Thus, anybody who spoke our language was a Slov, while foreigners were Nemcy (Mutes). The name Nemcy stuck as the Slavic name for Germans, but it used to be an umbrella term for the foreigners.

    I am from Romania and you are right. Our language is latin, but genetically we are closer to slavs then mediterranean people.

    Amazing how for almost all western "experts" on Slavs Great Moravia simply didnt exist. Old Slavnonic language was already liturgical language besides Greek and Latin in 9. century.

    Helicopter was invented by a Slav. (Sikorsky) Most of the modern technology comes from ONE Slav. (Tesla)
  • @emirrasic7247
    How do people mistake Romania as Slavic it literally has “Roman” in its name
  • It's a shame you didn't mention the Bulgarian Empires. They were quite influential, and left a massive mark in early Slavic culture.
