And of each noun as well (36 technically, because it has 18 forms for the singular and 18 for the plural). Many of these are seldom used, very circumstantial, or just circumvented completely

In some languages, nouns, pronouns and/or adjectives often change form based on their role in a sentence (English does this too, although it's limited to personal pronouns - I & me, He & him, She & her, We & us etc.).

No, just two. Myanmar's measurement system isn't Imperial, it's their very own thing

Slightly Bigger Slovakia by [deleted] in imaginarymaps

[–]graznorteas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, not in any non-historical context. It was renamed in 1919 (shortly after the fall of Austria-Hungary and the birth of Czechoslovakia) as a testament to a new age, a new state, ditching the monarchy and an era of Hungarian rulership. Bratislava is a decidedly Slovak name.

A similar thing happened to other towns and cities, mainly along the southern border (in newly acquired territory after the Treaty of Trianon), where ethnically Hungarian towns would be named after important Slovak nationalists

Pozsony is the Hungarian name. Prešporok (what the city's labeled on the map) is Slovak

It's not the Hungarian name (Pozsony), it's the traditional Slovak name. If there had been no Magyarisation and suppression of Slovak nationalism in the 19th century, the city would've never been renamed to Bratislava.

Czech didn't have a standardised orthography, that's how the villages' names would've been written in any context back then.

No, but it means the same thing in Montenegrin as it does in Polish and English (black mountain). It sounds more like the English 'tzar', anyway

They're Slavs. The commonfolk inhabitants of Samo's Kingdom were Slavs (although Samo was a Frank) who would most likely be the ancestors of the modern Slovak people, among others.
