      This is because the Old Church Slavonic functioned for the Romanian church as well as for the state chancelleries as an official language for many hundreds of years. It had the same status that Latin had for the Catholic Church. As the monasteries held the cultural monopoly of the Romanian space, OldChurchSlavonic continued to Slavicize the Romanian language also because the Orthodox Church saw Latin as an exponent of the Catholic Church (the enemy). Proper names, toponyms, river names, have been translated into Slavonic, remaining to this day in the official toponymy. The Cyrillic alphabet was used to write in Romanian until the middle of the 19th century, etc

    Very good map, its just biased towards modern borders and demographics.

      @@skend3489 What does "since hundreds of years ago" mean to you. Albanians started settling there in larger numbers in the 18th century after the area was left depopulated from Ottoman reprisals. The settlers were were largely catholic but were forced to adopt islam soon after. After that point the Albanian population slowly rose up while the Serb population was dwindling due to atrocities commited by the Turks before the balkan wars, Bulgarians during WW1, Italians during WW2 encouraging Albanian irredentism, a standard divide and conquer strategy. After the world wars, Tito has plans for Albania to join Yugoslavia and the key was gifting kosovo to it so he made no effort to bring back the displaced families from the second world war. After that the Yugoslav wars marked the latest exodus of serbs from both Kosovo and other parts of former Yugoslavia. I hope this answers your question

Another aspect is that during the Romanian renascence in the 19-th century some thousand words of Slavic (not to say Bulgarian) origin were mechanically swapped with French, Italian or Latin ones, but that is also a normal process. Yet there are maybe not less than 10% of Slavic words in use and countless toponyms. Also the Romanian is part of the Balkan Linguistic Community with Albanian, Bulgarian and Greek.

      They have all in common that they were greatly influenced by germanic language. I speak Slovenian and Serbian. You can kind of tell how old is the language by how it sounds because it coresponds with duration of the opression from other non slavs. I am learning Macedonian and have many Macedonian friends, i can tell you thet there are a lot more "Slovenian" words in Macedonian language than in Serbian, even tho Macedonia is considerd to be the Old Serbia because early Serbian history happened predomenantly on that land. That coresponds with them being concured by Turks tham other parts of Serbia so it renaind more unchanged to this day because it was repressed. Slovenian was also repressed pretty early and for a long time, that is why they sound more similar even tho they are so far apart, plus foreign words they adopted. Next to be concord by otomans were Serbs and then after Serbs croats by austrhungary. You can kind of see the evolution of south slavic language from old south slavic (wersion of Slovenian and Macedonian) to Serbian (ekavica) and then to croatian dialect jekavica which is also spoken in Montenegro which was never concord by anyone (but they identify as Serbs and say they speak Serbian). I should also mention I actually originate from Montenegro from Njeguši (some people may be confused when I say I'm Serbian). The longer the sluth slavs stayed independant the more alive was the language and the faster it changed/evolved. I believe it would be possible to apply that teory to other slavic languages, it doesent necessarly mean they were opressed it cud also mean that they were just under stronger foreign influence. For example Russian kind of sounds like jekavica to me (just that they don't call it that, you know the use of the soft and hard letter). Cech, Slovach, Polish and Lužičko Serbian sound more similar to my ear, more "rough" like german.
      Love to all Slavic brothers and sisters, protect and cherish our language, tradition and faith.

      I don't know if the spead of Eastern Slavic/Russian was that fast into Karelia/North. But I might be wrong. There is little knoledge/information about that. But there's atleat one mistake that I am sure. There was atleast no Russian speaking population in the Finnish Karelia(1917-1940/1944). After the WW2 Karelia was repopulared with mostly Russian speakers due to every Karelian and Finnish people leaving the "Old (Finnish) Karelia".
      I'm not sure about the situation during (1812-1917), but even then there must have very 'few' Russian speakers.
      There was maybe no Russia speakers in the northern "Finnish Karelia" due to that been part of Sweden (1658-1721).

      that video is wrong. Polish was spoken as a minority language throughout the whole of Ukraine (with exception of Crimea) and Belarus until extermination of Poles by Soviets in 1937-38. There were majority Polish areas near Minsk and Kiyv until that time. Lvov (Lviv) in Western Ukraine was majority Polish until Soviets expelled Poles in 1945-46. According to the Tsarist census of 1897 6% of Smolensk (Russia) population were Poles.

    If anyone is wondering why the region of Ruthenia (modern day Belarus and Ukraine) is also striped with West Slavic Polish Language in the mid 1500's, it is because of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth union from 1550 to roughly 1780, during which POLISH was the lingua franca of the commonwealth, and all aristocrats in Belarus and Ukraine spoke Polish (because the territiories of Ruthenia were all part of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth union). Only the working-class in Belarus and Ukraine spoke Ruthenian (Ruthenian= ancestor of modern day Belarussian and Ukrainian language) at that time. That's why Belarussian and Ukrainian (despite being EAST SLAVIC in origin), have HUGE West Slavic Polish language influences too, because of the Polish loanwords during the commonwealth era which seeped into Ruthenian language at the time. that's why Belarussian and Ukrainian is much easier to understand for a Pole than Russian for example. (Russian has much less Polish vocabulary language influences than either Ukrainian or Belarussian).

    Beautiful history! Well done. But one thing I don't understand. Why Czech and Slovak separated in your map so late? As far as I know (and I am Czech), written Czech was first documented at the begining of 13th century and at the turn of 14th and 15th century, it gradually established as chancery language in Kingdom of Bohemia, Margriavite of Moravia nad Upper Silesian duchies. Approximately at the turn of 15th and 16th century, Czech also established as written language in Upper Hungary (i. e. what is today Slovakia), but in specific, definitely slovakized form, which means, that common spoken language in what is today Slovakia was in that time markedly different from spoken language in Bohemia and Moravia. It does mean, that also Slovak was at that time established as separate language. Not yet written, but definitely spoken. At the turn of 18th and 19th century, Czech literary language underwent extensive modernization (so called Czech national revival, which was basically reaction to preceding prolonged decline of the language), whilst Slovaks developed roughly at the same time genuine Slovak literary language (instead of slovakized Czech). But it definitelly doesn't mean that before 19th century were no separate Czech and Slovak languages. Please, don't take it as criticism. Your histories are awsome and I greatly admire you. It was just my minor factual note.

    • @rdtgr8
      @rdtgr8 Před 4 lety +6

      I agree. Maybe I'm not an expert in Slovak history, but it's obvious that Slovak is significantly closer to Ukrainian and Serbo-Croatian languages and is quite understandable to speakers of them. From genetic point of view Slovaks are not so hard R1a-M458-dominated as Czechs, which makes them somewhat closer to R1a-Z280-CTS-dominated South-West and East Slavs. And simultaneously unlike Czechs and Poles they have quite much (16%) I2a, which is close to Slovene (22%) and Ukrainian (20.5%) levels, despite it's still much less than Serbo-Croates have (31-54%), however last exaggerated value may be explained via Founder effect work. So in total it's likely that Slovak from beginning was a mix of West Slavic (Czech) and Carpathian (Ukrainian, Serbo-Croatian, Slovene) dialects.

In my humble opinion it's because in 7-9th century in todays west and middle Slovakia was slavic tribe of Nitravians (ancestors of Slovaks) and on the east there were White Croats. One part of them later moved on Balkan and second stayed and most likely were assimilated. So mix of western Nitravians and eastern White Croats could caused that nowadays slovak language can be understandable to many other Slavic nations.

      What language appeared earlier is a silly question. Languages change over time and Russian that appears on this map in 1500s wasn't the same as it is today.
      All modern East Slavic languages are equally related to East Slavic language.
      Ukrainian / Russian / Belorussian split has to do with political divisions of Russia, Poland and Lithuania. After the Mongol invasion many Russian principalities in the south and west became part of the Grand duchy of Lithuania (split into Russian and Ruthenian). Galicia (modern western Ukraine) became part of Poland. Later Lithuania entered a personal union with Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was born. Within that commonwealth modern Ukrainian territories of Lithuania were passed to the Kingdom of Poland (split of Ruthenian into Ukrainian and Belorussian).
      All these changes are very gradual and complicated however and the map doesn't really reflect it. It's very basic / schematic. The people speaking the Ruthenian language would probably just tell you that they are speaking Russian. And people speaking East Slavic would tell you they're speaking Slavic or Russian. All these would be different from modern Russian of course. The names on the map are just historiographic terms.

    "Let foreigners, out of ignorance or negligence, take little care of them, but it is unforgivable for us to forget the Bulgarians from whose hands we received baptism, who have taught us to write, to read, in whose vernacular is our worship, in whose language for the most part we wrote almost to the time of Lomonosov, whose cradle is connected by inseparable knots with the cradle of the Russian people and so on. "
    Yuri Venelin on Bulgarian history in 1829

    In his article Protection of the Old Bulgarian Language (1990)
    Prof. Dr. Otto Kronsteiner from Austria writes:
    “The Old Bulgarian language has become the cultural language of all Orthodox Slavs. It was the first state literary language in Medieval Europe long before the emergence of European literary languages ​​- German, French, Italian, English, Russian "and Serbian inclusive, of course!

    "When Greek Christianity was officially accepted in Russia at the end of the 10th century, its distributors in Russia were mainly Bulgarian clergy. In this way, the Bulgarian language became the basis of the Russian Church and Russian literary language. "
    M. Fassmer, quoted by M. Popov, The Bulgarian People between the European Races and Peoples, Sofia, Court Printing House, 1938;
    “The influence of the Bulgarian language was felt extremely strongly by the Russians and Serbs until the 18th century, this influence weakened only in the 19th century, when vernacular elements entered the literature of these two peoples and replaced the influence of the old church influences. These influences were especially strong because the Russian Church Slavonic language also shows too much Bulgarian, and partly directly Eastern Bulgarian elements.

    "The orthography of our (ie Russian, b.a.) manuscripts from the middle of the XV century is a reflection of the orthography of the South Slavic (more precisely of the Middle Bulgarian) manuscripts. It is clear that between the middle of the XIV and the middle of the XV century, the Russian script came under the very strong influence of the South Slavic script and ultimately submitted to this influence.

Then, during the national revival when Czech was almost an extince language, many words were taken from Polish to replace the German ones. The reason why Polish and Czech aren't that similar as they used to be is because Czech is a recreated language with strong German-like hard pronunciation that displaced its palatalization.

Therefore your recommendation is nonsensical and as a Bosnian pisses me off. not only does the term completely undermine the Bosnian and Montenegrin influence and development of this branch of Slavic, you want to further erase another 800 years of our connection with our language..

      Originally, they Slavs were forming one group since 6. and 7. century with no dialectal differences.
      Split between West and South Slavs was around 800 AD. Czech and Slovak were originally developing in South Slavic group with Karyntian/Slovenian/Serbo-Croatian. The reason for Czech/Slovak/Serbo-Croatian unity was probably a series of common countries (Samo's country, Great Moravia).
      Bavarian and Frankish efforts to take over today Austria (Austria east of today Salzburg) and establishment of Margraviate of Austria, as well as arrival of Magyars around year 900 caused separation Czechs/Slovaks with the rest of South Slavs.
      After separation of South Slavic group by Magyars, Czech/Slovak and Lechitic group created a more uniform group due to interaction.

    Serbian used to be some kind of Russo-Bulgarian-sounding language. It went extinct in the 19th century and was replaced by Bosnian, because most Serbs migrated into the Bosnian Eyalet which covered Bosnia, Herzegovina, parts of Montenegro, Slavonia and Dalmatia, and the lingua franca there was Bosnian. Vuk Karadzic and Ilija Garasanin are responsible for pushing for the abandonment of Serbian and the replacement. The Serbian Orthodox church was vehemently against their reforms, and the Serbian government was too up until about 4 years after Vuk's death.
    Whereas the Dalmatians spoke Chakavian, and the Croats spoke Kajkavian (which is related to Slovenian). In the 12th-16th century Chakavian was being actively promoted by Croat and Dalmatian writers as the language they should all speak. Then starting in the 16th century, Dalmatian writers would start to promote Shtokavian, which Dubrovnik's literati had chosen to adopt hundreds of years earlier from Bosnia in an attempt to save their language from Latinization. Migration of Bosnian Catholics into Slavonia and Bosniaks into areas like Lika, helped popularize Shtokavian and make it administrative in those areas under Bosnian pashas. Serb serfs would be brought to those areas to cultivate the land to feed the Ottoman armies, and would adopt Shtokavian there.
    Later Ljudevit Gaj would push for the use of Bosnian (Shtokavian & Shchakavian) like Vuk Karadzic did, and that's when for example areas like Zagreb replaced Kajkavian with Shtokavian completely.
    And this is why they all sound similar today. But if you read the documents from the 12th-13th century of all 3 countries, they sound very different.
