Etymology of Slovakia is a bit complicated. The tribe, that lived here was called "Sloveni", not "Slováci". You can see it also in slovak language, where Slovakia is Slovensko. If were Slovaks all the time, it would be called Slovácko, not Slovensko. Also we call our women "Slovenky".

[@Ignisan_66]

Yes. Slovaks (Slováci) should be called Sloveni because that was the tribal name. Slováci is a translation made by Czechs.

[@Stando0]

@@Ignisan_66 Not exactly. I think that word "Slovák" was part of language development, so it somehow started as "Sloveni" and ended up as "Slováci"

I like the educational tone of this channel, that's why I don't think it would be good to have hardbass, because it endorses a silly stereotype about Slavs being stupid and drunk. Personally, I think there should be more examples of Slavic folk and high-culture.

[@jannovak1866]

You forgot 2nd empire: Great Moravia (833-907), which had similar area as Samo's Empire (631-658) that you mentioned. Also it wasn't necessarily 1000 years of separation, because Slovaks lived in historical Hungary as peasants/serfs, only in last century or two they were Magyarized (forced to speak Magyar).

Hello Serbian brother I am from Slovakia. I think that we Slovaks and Slovenians have been one nation or one tribe called SLOVENI/ SLOVIENI in history before all slavic tribes have been divided into west Slavs, south Slavs and east Slavs. Historical name for Slováci is Sloveni/ Slovieni, for slovak women Slovenky. Historical name for slovak women has been preserved. I read it in Dictionary of Slovak language and also in some historical books. I think it could be the truth. That would explain us why we both have the same female name for Slovaks and Slovenians: Slovak woman- Slovenka and Slovenian woman is also Slovenka and our both countries are called similar in our own languages: Slovakia- Slovensko/ Slovenská republika; Slovenia- Slovenija/ Republika Slovenija. Our country Slovensko is called in english Slovakia because we can not have the same name as Slovenia because nowadays we are two different slavic brotherly countries. ❤️ :-) Greetings to our brothers and sisters Serbians and Slovenians from Slovakia, from your slavic sister! :-) ❤️ SLÁVA to all slavic nations! ❤️

@Mieroslava: you are 100% correct , because we Sloveni are the first slavic group on the central european territory. Slavi is a name invented by Checks in 19.century. Correct name is Sloveni, which is also a better name as Slavs, which germans translated in slaves. We are not slaves, but Sloveni, and this truth is slowly coming to the surface.

Hey, I have a question for you Slavic Affairs. I enjoy your content very much, and I do not want you to stop because the music is wonderful and I love the theme and your other stuff is very educational. I understand that we can have Slavic pride without being Alt-Right/Neo-Slavic-Nazis, but I wanted to know where you generally stand politically because I just sometimes have a bit of a doubt in my mind about this channel because of how the Alt-Right has tainted pride in one's heritage.

[@SlavicAffairs]

Hi Alex, I'm not alt-right and I am far from being a nazi. I have in the past condemned people who are 'wnb nazis' and I think Slavic people should distance from it considering we have suffered a great deal under the nazi or fascist regime. I consider myself to be rational, that's all. I never hid my political opinion and to summarize it: I am proud of my heritage and culture, I am against the illegal migrantion and LGBT propaganda - does that mean I hate everyone who's not straight white European? No, not at all. I simply think Europe should strive towards increasing birth rates instead of importing people from Arab or African countries who in most cases bring their culture with them thus unsuccessful assimilation is changing our, European culture (Take a look at the West Europe). Anyhow, the purpose of this channel is not political propaganda but simply promoting Slavic countries, music, brotherhood, etc. I do sometimes include some parts like I did in this video that may upset some people, but shouldn't be taken all too serious. I hope this answers your question.

The traditional hats resemble Venice further south in Mostviertel. Must be trade history with ancient relatives to make that last. Sort of gradient in Austria with German influence in north and Slavic influence on NE and South. But feel there is some in Gresten area which is central Austria. May be why Austrians may feel less German with possible connection to South Slav people through common Baltic ancestry. But definitely still connected to Bavarian German dialect and Roman / Celtic culture. Nice to discover Slavic history to explain likes dislikes 💖

Slovenians are great people . what are you talking about ? They have always sided with Serbs and respect and like us more then they like Fascist Croats. The people are not responsible for their government. Our government is letting Gay pride marches through Belgrade does this mean we Serbs as people accept this too? Our government wants to Join NATO and shitty EU does this mean us as a Race want to as well;?? Get a grip of reality and your own senses my Brother. Its easy being a Serb inside a western country with a lot if food,Job ,money nice house and nice car. In Serbia people don't give s shit about being bog Serbs because they are barely surviving you stupid kid.

You lost Kosovo, we lost Istra and Koroška. Now you know how it feels to loose a part of your motherland.

I am Slovak and I don't understand any of other slavs languages besides Czech. I am wondering if I would understand Czech if I wouldn't spent my childhood in front of Czech TV :) but anyway these languages are quite similar and it is easy to learn another one. For example many of Slovaks living in UK now speaks fluent polish :)

The cross is Patriarchal cross. The symbolic is complicated. Believe or not Morava,Chorvati,Uhorsko, even Germania is the same thing.

As a Turk, I tend to think Slovenia is a smaller colony of Slovakia 😂😂😂😂

[@zheka1780]

would be nice if you can promote interslavic languages as slovio

[@renepayback]

thank you for a great video , since nobody cares about Slovakia in the Slavic world , unfortunatelly for them. Slovakian language is influenced by all Slavic language so Slovak is the key to all Slav language ...you as Slovenian lern Slovak and the next day you will understand Polak same as Rus ...i personaly can speak Serbian , Russian , Polish, and comunicate with any problem with Macedonian , Ukrainian and Slovenienan .... not that i am smart but becouse Slovak is the key i did not lern Serbian i only visit Krim for 10 days and after 3 days i simply start to speak ... think about that .... well yes Slovak supposed to be the interslavic language as all Slavic nations agreed on that on the second panslavic congres in Poland it didnt hapen becouse od our brothers Czechs , who where the only onces who vote against that - since for them Slovakia is a fake land and Slovaks are just made up and the language is just made up ect :D
