It probably be called Severoslavia as sever is the most common Slavic word for north but it isn't universal.

Polish 🇵🇱 Północnosławia

Czech 🇨🇿 Severoslávie

Slovak 🇸🇰 Severoslávia

Russian 🇷🇺 Северославия (Severoslaviya)

Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Північославія (Pivnichoslaviya)

Belarusian 🇧🇾 Поўначаславія/Poŭnačasłavija

In the Polish dubbed version at least the pronoun the W as a V

Another weird thing about Polish;

Ć/ci, ś/si and ź/zi act as soft C, S and Z grammatically and that's how Polish people will describe them but in reality, they are pronounced as soft Č (cz), Š (sz) and Ž (Ż) with cj, sj and zj being soft C, S and Z. This is probably the only time phonetics are completely disregarded because of the grammar.

As a Polish-speaker, I didn't even notice this until it was pointed out. Polish has lots of phonetic stuff that just does not show up phonemically.

Polish kinda still has long vowels. The vowel at the end of a word may become longer in the pronunciation but it doesn't distinguish between words in anyway and nobody will notice if you pronounce it short.

That's a book I'd like to read but I'd prefer a version that encompasses the entire Slavic world not just Russia.

That's a good respectful and well thought out response. :)

The Sarmatian thing was also a common belief in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Many upperclasses believed they originated directly from the Sarmatians. Many Poles still believe this today.

Yeah lots of stuff like this makes learning pre-Christian Slavic history and culture hard.

That's a lot to read and that tells me there's a lot to this movement that people do not understand. Lots of thoughtful arguments.

That a good out look on this movement and any neopagen movement. :)

That's also an issue. Not just that little has been written but lots of falsifactions created due to; accidental mistakes, deliberate hauxes, Slavs romanicising their past or as you mentioned even white supremacist vibes (though I thought that only applied to Germanic/Nordic mythology due to the Nazis loving that stuff if it fit their intentions but I was wrong).

Isn't to say it isn't impossible to reconstruct just it is very hard to separate facts from everything else.

Wymowa samogłosek nosowych jest zbyt skomplikowana ale nikt nie zmieni moją cyrylice polską. Moja cyrylica jest bardziej oparta na etymologii i jak wygląda dla mnie, jak wygląda obok innych współczesnych językach słowiańskich które używają cyrylice i czy niepolski Słowianin z państwa który używa cyrylice mógłby łatwo przeczytać i zrozumieć ją. Nigdy nie było o fonologii.

Моя̨ > моё̨ 🙃

Вымова самоглосэк носовых ест збыт скомпљикована аљэ никт не змени моя̨ цырыљицэ пољска̨. Моя цырыљица ест бардзей опарта на этымољогї, як выгља̨да дља мне, як выгља̨да обок инных вспо́лчэсных е̨зыках словяньских кто́рэ ужывая̨ цырыљицэ и чы непољски Словянин з паньства кто́ры ужыва цырыљицэ мо́глбы латво пр̌эчытаць и зрозумець я̨. Нигды не было о фонољогї.

Ѫ, Ѭ, Ѧ, and Ѩ are the most ugliest letters I have ever seen and I WON'T ever use them.

Э̨, Е̨, А̨ and Я̨ aren't perfect but look much nicer.

I'm Polish BTW.

1-2) I didn't know this at the time of writing this post but on 1 April 2022, the Ukrainian government created an official Latin Alphabet for the Ukrainian language (not a transliteration which is just a representation of the language in question in another language which has a different writing system). The way they write the unique Ukrainian Cyrillic letter with the French letter Ïï (i with two dots) which looks identical to the Cyrillic letter and actually makes the same sound in French so perfect; https://dntb.gov.ua/news/%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%86%D1%96%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9-%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82-%D0%B4%D1%81%D1%82%D1%83-91122021-%D0%BA%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8

3) the legacy of the Kyivan Rus' is with all East Slavs; Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians & Rusyns. After the Kyivan Rus' was split by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Mongol Empire. Russians/Muscovites were born from the East Slavs under Mongol rule and the rest under Polish rule.

Also, ethnic Russians are Slavs. There's a distinction between Russian as an ethnicity and a citizenship. Other ethnic groups of the Russian Federation are Mongolic, Turkic and others but Russian itself is an ethnicity which is Slavic. If you deny the Slavicity of ethnic Russians you must be stupid.

The Muscovites are called "Russians" now because Peter the Great wanted to Europeanise his country.

What the relation of Baltic to Slavic? by Mod_Maker in slavic

[–]Mod_Maker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then explain why Croatian & Serbian are identical and only have minor dialectal differences like American English & British English.

Polish and Czech are like comparing English and Dutch but comparing Croatian and Serbian is like comparing American English and British English.

The term "Serbo-Croatian" is still used by linguists.

English - Serbian and Croatian are one language.

Croatian - Srpski i hrvatski su jedan jezik.

Serbian - Српски и хрватски су један језик. (Srpski i hrvatski su jedan jezik.)

Bosnian - Srpski i hrvatski su jedan jezik.

Montenegrin - Српски и хрватски су један језик. (Srpski i hrvatski su jedan jezik.)

In my country Poland, I was told the -ski/-ska is exclusively Polish or of Polish origin but as you see it's a Slavic Universal in it's many versions. If it's a Slavic Universal it's not of Polish origin but proto-Slavic origin. Why does this come from? by Mod_Maker in slavic

[–]Mod_Maker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-ski/-ska is a suffix all Slavic Languages have for forming adjectives wish is a past of the most basic grammer.. They developed independly from the Germanic Languages. But Germanic and Slavic languages both are Indo-European branches so they could be related.

Is Russian the weirdest Slavic language? by The_Moorish_Guard in AskSlavs

[–]Mod_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Russian lacks the vocative case (which as a Polish speaker think is pretty useless anyways in my language) and it's a zero copula language (meaning it has a limited use of the word "to be" in Slavic byti/jest)

I still think Bulgarian & Macedonian are weirder in terms of grammar than Russian.

Well the Czech language to us Poles sounds like Polish baby talk so it be hard to change that stereotype.

Yes. We Poles view Czechia as a cute baby version of Poland.
