    I think Slav comes from the word Slovo. In Polish “Slavs” is słowianie, which means “people of the word” or “people who know words”. By contrast Polish word for Germans is “Niemcy” which could’ve came from the word “niemy” which means “someone who doesn’t speak”

    As you pointed out correctly, Bohemia's original flag was white-and-red. And when Czechoslovakia was created they added the blue triangle to represent Slovakia. But you missed here a fun fact that is worth telling. When the two countries split again in 1993, Czechia could not come back to their original white-and-red flag simply because in the meanwhile it had been stolen by Poland. And Poland's historical flag was actually red-white-red, but that one was in turn stolen by the Austrians.

      The first flag of Poland was a white eagle with a red background, the red white red you mention is the flag of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. both Czechia and Poland had used white and red in flags during history, but good thing that Czechia did not abandon the blue triangle as it would make it very confusing having the same flag as its neighbouring country and I do think that it makes the Czechian flag look unique

      The Polish flag is more years old than the Polish state itself. These were the colors of the princes of the Piast dynasty, who founded the first dynasty of Polish kings - which means that the flag is at least 1100 years old (the Polish state was officially established in 966). Accusing Poles that they stole these colors from the Czechs is some kind of joke? Alternatively, you are some kind of insensitive troll.

    The story with the Russian flag is a little more complicated. For the first time, the tricolor flag appeared under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich on the ship "Oryol". Before it was created, the ruler studied the flags of Great Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden. As a result, there are several versions of the original flag in the form of variations of tricolors and a banner with a blue cross on a white-red background.

      But yes, generally when you have a native speaker of a language in one language family (in our case Portuguese, a Romance language) learning another language that also belongs in that family (as you mentioned Spanish, French, Italian or Romanian) tends to lean moreso on the easy side of the spectrum for them. The difficulty will vary obv, I would think that for a Portuguese person, Romanian will be more difficult to learn than Spanish, just simply bcs of the distance between the three countries that speak these languages - from which we can assume that the bigger the distance, the bigger the difference in the languages. However, again, I think a Portuguese will pick up even Romanian probably a lot more easily than like... Hindi imho. *I* would put it that way anyway 😂

    You are the first one that I saw on Internet mentioning "slovo" ("word") as the root of word "slav". Actually, this is my understanding too. "Sloveni" are the people who can speak understandable words, while "Nemci" (Germans) are the people who are "nemi" ("mute") - who, from Slavic perspective, can't speak understandable words.

      Yes. This folk etymology is shared everywhere on the internet. Just look at the other comments under this video. You guys are like bots. But the truth could be somewhere else. The word Slav probably comes from the original Slavic name for Dnieper: Slovǫta. And the word Nemec could come from the name of the Celtic tribe Nemetes, who Romans thought were a Germanic tribe.

    10:30 as for etymology it could be also from slavic word ,,fame" for example polish sława or ukrainian slava. When we talk about word slovo, there is one funny connection: Poles call themselves ,,słowianie" which could mean ,,those who know words" but they call germans ,,Niemcy" which could come from ,,those who don't talk/don't know words". It was like, germans don't talk in the human language...

      _but they call germans ,,Niemcy" which could come from ,,those who don't talk/don't know words_ - AFAIK "Niemiec" was - at the beginning - a general term meaning "unable to speak" (as in Polish "niemy"), in the sense "unable to communicate", and that term was to meant "a foreigner" - in the same fashion Greeks called "non-Greeks" "barbarians" (i.e. mocking their "bar-bar-bar" incomprehensible "blabber").
      Anyway, as Germans were (back then) the only non-Slavic neighbours, that designator became synonymous with German people.

    There is a misuderstanding of the origin of Slovene national flag. It was acctually the firs slavic flag using the combination of white (top), blue (middle) and red (bottom). The flag originates from the coat of the arms of the Land of Carniola. The Book of Coats of Arms from 1370 describes that the coat of arms of the Land of Carniola is a heraldic blue eagle (in takeoff) on a white (heraldically silver) background, with a right-facing head (according to heraldic standards), which has a white-red painted and downward-facing crescent on its chest . In 1463, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. he allowed the Carniolan provincial estates (the Carniolan army saved his empire and also his life in the battle) to use yellow (gold) in their coat of arms instead of white (silver), and place a golden imperial crown on the eagle's head.
    In his numerous writings, heraldry researcher Dr. Šavli states that the regional coat of arms was created even before the elevation of Carniola to a duchy in 1364, according to some sources, the years 1156 and 1161 are mentioned.
    The nowadays Russian flag was first used as an ensign for Russian merchant ships in 1696 It remained as a merchands flag in use until 1858, when the first official flag of the Russian Empire was decreed by Alexander II, which was a tricolour consisting of three horizontal fields: black on the top, yellow in the middle, and white on the bottom. A decree in 1896 reinstated the white, blue, and red tricolour as the official flag of the Russian Empire until 1917.
    So Slovenian flag is with over 500 years older origins and the colour similar to Dutch flag and later to Russian flag is just a coincidence. The modern Russian flag as the national flag was declared in 1993 as the Slovenian flag was in 1945 as the flag of the Republic of Slovenia part of the Yugoslav federation. The Slovenian national flag was adopted by the Slovenian Assembly on June 24, 1991, when it adopted an amendment to the 1974 constitution, replacing the old flag shortly before Slovenia gained independence. So no "copy-pasting", but opposite ;)

      Šavli is also known for disproven theories like the supposed real ancestors of Slovenes being the Veneti and not the slavic people. While it is true that our German speaking neighbours and former fellow countrymen have called us Windisch, this comes from the slavic tribe the Wends, not to be confused with the latin tribe Veneti, who lived around Venice. But as likely as it is that our slavic ancestors have intermingled with the germanic tribes, it is also they likely they did the same with the latin ones. So maybe there is some truth after all.
      It is true tho, that the color combination of white, blue and red, has been used in the heraldry of the Duchy of Carniola since the 13th century, before it even became a duchy. But it was not untill 1848, that the tricolor was used in a modern horizontal lines fashion, that is also seen today in our flag. 1848 was also the year of the Prague Slavic Congress, which our deputies attended.
      I don't think it matters who was first, and the colors aren't really exclusive to slavic countries. France, Netherlands, USA, etc. have the same colors. We are all copying each other.

    Poland and (old) Bohemia flags derive from their medieval coats-of-arms, white eagle/lion on red (~12-13th century). they precede any "Pan-Slavic ideas" by ~600 years. Poland / Bohemian flags simply follow an old European heraldic pattern: the flag colors derive from the charge & shield of the medieval coat-of-arms. The coat-of-arms, in turn, is usually the crest of a ruling dynasty, or a major city. It's a very common heraldic pattern in Europe: Austria (from the crest of Babenbergs), Luxemburg (Luxemburg/Limburg), Bavaria (Wittelsbach), Tirol (Albert of Tirol), Monaco, San Marino (from city crests) etc. Many of these flags use some combinations of white and red or blue, simply because these colors are very common in heraldry.

    Very accurate information! About the green on the Bulgarian flag - the national mythology says this is the color of the woods and the mountains, one of the national symbols. But my personal explanation is the color of the flags in our National liberation movement - they are all green. After all pan Slavic ideas weren't very popular in Bulgaria in that time because the aim was a creation of one big Slavic country governed by Serbia under the huge influence of Russia. Our revolutionaries didn't agree...

    The tricolour flag of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia is basically Czech tricolour that was created by adding blue stripe under original bicolour. Possible explanation could be that those three colours are found on coat of arms of Bohemia and Moravia. Bohemian bicolour is derived from it's coat of arm. White/silver lion, and red background. Moravian coat of arm cosists od red-silver eagle and blue background. Those two combined could easily form WRB tricolour thus there was no need for any change.
    As well the current flag was result of contest held early after WWI and many of suggestions were not even using all Slavic colours, many had represented parts of Czechoslovakia by stars and so on. There was even proposal inspired by flag of Texas and few by old flag of Ireland or Alabama, but with added stars. There were as well some proposals that had used black colour (reference to the Hussite movement). So the current flag is more likely result of happy coincidence.

    Also there is one thing that can be interesting for anyone reading the comments in here. According to the religion and mythology of old Slavs (pre Christian time when we all were pagan people who spoke the same language and believed in the same gods) colors on the Slav flags are chosen based on the gods of that time. I will take Russian for example:
    1. White color - the highest one representing the supreme god Svarog who ruled the world and everything in the world,
    2. Blue color - representing the god Perun the thunder maker who had the highest force in the world and,
    3. Red color - representing the red bearded god Vid who was our progenitor.
    Svarog had the son named Dažbog or Dabog, Dajbog (god of the Sun, Rain and Fire) whom Serbian people for example took as their highest or supreme deity. Name Dažbog or Dabog, Dajbog means (daž-bog, da-bog, daj-bog) "daž, da, daj = gives", "bog = god" so it is the god who gives. He gives the life on earth since he gives the sunlight as god of the sun. And old Slavs because of the great respect to those appearances they believed in the cult of sun, rain and fire since their entire survival was depending on them.
    Also it is believed that Dažbog or Dabog, Dajbog was the ancestor of the Russian people and all Slavs in general.
    Serbian people today have the flag that goes from the top: red, blue and white (inverted Russian flag) which means red bearded god Vid is on the top. And even today Serbian people also Bulgarian too are celebrating the day of Vidovdan (day of the god Vid celebrated every year at 28th of June).
    Also very important battle in Serbian history took place at the day of Vidovdan (28th June 1389) at Kosovo in place Gazimestan where Serbian warriors were in huge battle with Ottoman empire who wanted to conquer the historical Serbian land. At Gazimestan it is growing one endemic kind of flower - red peony. And it is believed it started growing red because of the spilled blood in the soil of Serbian warriors after the battle of Kosovo. So yet again red color from the red peony and read bearded god Vid can be connected together in this event happened at Vidovdan and why red color it is on the flag.
    Religion and mythology of old Slavs is really a fascinating and great one. They could be read as bedtime stories to children :grinning_face: Once Slavs or better said old Slavs were ONE people occupying huge territory and "modern" ages invented nations accompanied with greed and hunger for the power and started dividing once unified people into multiple nations. All in all Slavs no matter where, are the great people and personally I am beyond proud by being a Slav.

      Blue, white and red are the most popular colours used in flags around the world. Does it make the blue, white and red horizontal stripes pan-Slavic if we consider the fact that combinations of those stripes are used all over the globe? I don't see any logic to accept it as a pan-Slavic symbol. Moreover, there are nations like Bosniaks, Bulgarians, Macedonians and Ukrainians who historically use other colours. I am a Ukrainian myself and I don't have any relationship feelings towards the b-w-r tricolour.

    The whole "Slav" thing isn't really controversial and is pretty established. As is one of the suggestions, it means "People of the word". While the word itself can be debated, the broader context of these languages and how other words are used makes it pretty clear. The Slavic word for Germans for example is some form of "Neimetz", which translates to roughly "people that don't speak".
    English word for Slave does indeed come from "Slav" (Not the other way around as the video suggests at one point). This was the result of the Slavic slave trade which is about as studied as unicorns, but in recent decades academics started to seriously look into it as a massive catalyst for the Atlantic Slave trade and foundation of Western European economy.

    Well, you actually wrong about Russian flag. And the article in Wikipedia in English is not correct at all about it. It has one-sided not historical western opinion which says "it's because they used as an example a Dutch flag". NOPE.
    Russian national flag was white, blue and red already in 1693. It called The flag of Moscowian Tsar. It actually used to use before Peter the Great was even born. But it had a two-headed golden eagle with 3 crownes above. Later it was used oftenly too, but starting from 18 century the main flag was black-yellow-white flag of the Russian Empire(flag of the whole empire, not national). And the national flag was still white-blue and red.
    Also the meanings of the colours came from the title of the tsars : white is Belarus (White Russia), blue is Ukraine (Little Russia) and red is Great Russia. Also meanings by colours are: white is purity and perfection, blue is faith and loyalty, red is power and passion.

    I think you are wrong. There are vexicological rules. The oldest symbol of the country was the coat of arms of the royal family. The colors of this coat of arms are the colors of the country. The Czech traditional flag is derived from a white (silver) lion on a red background. Therefore, Bohemia (Czechia) had the same color as Poland (Silver eagle on a red background). The Czechoslovak flag was created by adding a blue wedge. Why blue? Because the traditional Slovak coat of arms is a white cross standing on blue hills and a red background. Blue is therefore a color that the Bohemia did not have in its coat of arms, but Slovakia did and that is why blue was added. After the independence of the Czech Republic, this state kept its flag from tradition (and Slovakia made its own flag). But the Czech Republic consists of the historical countries of Bohemia and Moravia, and Moravia has a red and white eagle on a blue background as its coat of arms. So that makes sense too. The resemblance to the colors of the Russian flag is purely coincidental. Blue, red and white are, for example, the colors of France and the USA.

      Czerwony czerwiec czerw. W tych słowach kryje się odpowiedź na pytanie skąd się wzięły barwy Słowian. Gościu znalazł jeden jakiś fakt o tym, że jakiemuś carowi podobała się holenderka flota i zbudował absurdalną teorię wokół tego ignorując całą resztę. Biały i czerwony były popularne wśród Słowian przez tysiąc lat a dopiero w XIX wieku niektóre narody dodały błękitny? Zastanówmy się czy to dlatego, że Rosja takie miała czy może dlatego, że w czasie wiosny ludów te narody powoływały się na francuską i amerykańską rewolucję? Lol. Ten film jest w dużej mierze bez sensu. ;)

      A Bosnian Muslim tells us who is a Turk. We know who sold his faith for dinner . You have turkish faith, names and surenames. We have slavic.We beat turks , and kept our slavic ancestory.Other than such close DNA similarity R1a (Slavic) genom to other Slavic tribes, there are historical and traditional facts, that prove my point.Read and educate yourself before you write nonsense.The only truth is that Turks are of Serbian DNA today, many janissaries married Turkish sultan's daughters and Turkish women after retirement. Secondly, that Kemal Ataturk is a Turkified Serb, Macedonian whatever, Slav. Like the third rules of the wedding night, etc., are propaganda nonsense that the Vatican spread with Vienna and Berlin. Lying Turks, these white people today are not original Turks at all, the real Turks are Azeris. And men with black hair and white skin were residents of Helm, and now that you are comforting yourself with propaganda without evidence is your business. Your first lie is that they ruled Serbia for 500 years, but 350.But the Turks have nothing to do here, how many executed Bosnians (not all) who want to wash their face with dirty water from falsehoods and lies!

    1848 was generally an insanely chaotic year in most of Europe. It was filled with rebellions, many of which were nationalist revolts. It's no coincidence that the Pan-Slavic tricolor was adopted so widely in that year.

    • @alh6255
      @alh6255 Рік тому

      But these 3 colors were not adopted by countries with a long and rich history of statehood, which had their own old state flags, such as Poland (whose flag comes from the colors of the Piast dynasty, which founded the Polish state in the mid-10th century). This flag (white and red) was the flag of the Kingdom of Poland from the 10th century, and also gave colors to the flag of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (the real union of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which lasted about 300 years, until the end of the 18th century). In 1848, the Polish flag was one of the oldest nationa/statel flags in Europe (and still is). Although in 1848 Poland had been occupied by Russia, Prussia and Austria for about 50 years, there was a Polish Kingdom to some extent independent of Russia (however, in a personal union with Russia due to the tsar). This kingdom obviously used the traditional Polish flag (red and white)
