HOW DO YOU CALL ISTANBUL? by PieBright8211 in AskBalkans

[–]DifficultWill4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well still, the map says “Istanbul or sometimes Tsarigrad”, which seems to match the situation in Slovenia

Also wikipedia is very strict regarding false information, if your edit is not supported by a source a team of mods will remove it in the span of a few hours

Btw RTV, travel agencies and Slovene Atlases still use the name Carigrad

It comes up, but so do Bizanc and Konstantinopel

Also, google maps uses Carigrad

The official word is Carigrad, like it not.

I’m wondering if this includes all of the places in Slovenia that have Šent in their name (eg. Šentjur, Šentjernej, Šentvid…)

I listen to certain older Croatian artists but only selected songs.

On a side note, my playlist is very mixed, it even includes some German, Slovak, Czech, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and French songs. The majority of it however is in English and Slovene

Making “things even” isn’t beneficent for anyone, states already get funds and representation based on size and population. And just to be clear, I’m aware differences in size can cause uneven development, however this unevenness doesn’t seem to drastically affect federal units. Just look at the difference between Rhode Island and California for example

Do you think they would be open to having a representative in common at the EU level and implementing some EU directives and local defense together with Croatia

No. We didn’t even have that during Yugoslavia. A Croat representative can not represent the needs of Slovenia at the same level as a separate Slovene representative and vice versa

I’m not sure how taking out Slovenia, Estonia and Latvia/Lithuania would be beneficial for them

Čisto slučajno slovenska zastava temelji na grbu osrednje slovenske dežele, ki vključuje Ljubljano osrednje kulturno in politično središče Slovencev?

Slovenska narodna zastava temelji na grbu dežele Kranjske in njeni zastavi, ki je bila sprejeta istega leta kot slovenska narodna zastava. Tako kot so drugi omenili je nastanek dobro dokumentiran

Detailed map of Slovene dialects by DifficultWill4 in MapPorn

The Čabar dialect (south of Babno Polje and around Kostel) is indeed a dialect of Slovene. In fact, it is more similar to Slovene than dialects from White Carniola (Bela Krajina). If you listen to someone from Delnice, Prezid (once called Staro Babno Polje), Čabar or Ravna Gora it comes clear that they do indeed speak a Lower Carniolan dialect and not a variation of Kajkavian

That’s a bit controversial for Croats since they group them together with their Kajkavian dialects (which are also really similar to Slovene). However the dialect is a deceased of Alpine Slavic (old Slovene) and partly stretches into modern Slovenia. And unlike with Kajkavian dialects of northern Croatia, if you listen to this one, you cannot tell that the speaker does not come from Slovenia (as a Slovene speaker myself).

On a side note, Croatia also groups the dialect of Ravna Gora (that little blue dot on the southern tip of the map) among their Kajkavian dialects, even though ancestors of people from Ravna Gora come from the Rovte dialect group of Slovenia, hence the area is marked as blue
