And yes, I know Hungarians are not Slavic, before anyone points that out…
There’s just more of them here than other groups, so I think my point still stands…
There’s tonnes of “Eastern European” descendants here. Some Slavic, some not, so it is just… Weird, that anyone here could not know that word/it’s meaning/origin, frankly… Unless they were deliberately ignorant.
By definition and genetics Hungarians are Slavic, same as Albanians. Slavs are categorized to cover the majority of Eastern Europe by race.
Isn’t “Slavic” purely based on language roots, though..??
I know this is dubious (Hungarians seem much more similar, culturally and linguistically, to, say, Poland, than Bohemians do), but if we’re going by the “conventional” definition, Hungary is not Slavic, while the Czech Republic is…
Odd, I know.
Much like how Lithuania is sort of “not Slavic”, while modern Belarus (traditionally, rump Lithuania) is…
Because the whole thing is fairly arbitrary…
Basically, for moi: Slavic language ✅
White AF ✅
(Very) Hot women ✅✅
Generally fucked with in WW2 by the Nazis, but also not Jewish, and white, and east of Berlin/the Oder? ✅
It’s more complicated than that, I know, but these definitions are just… Not that easy to pin down, lol…
Apart from the pasty-ness, and the language group thing, lol…
The Slavic region is basically the baltics up to and including Poland, east west wise the Czech were the western edge while the khaganate was the eastern edge. This of course got blurred over time but is a general idea of the Slavic area.
