On this map we can see the European part of SLAVIA, where we see the borders of 13 Slavic states with the names of the states, and the territory of LUSATIA. On the map we also notice the area and population of all the Euroasiatic SLAVIA, (statistics for the year 2005).
SLAVIA
According to the World
Encyclopedia, the Slavs are divided into
three groups: west, east and south. I looked around the Internet, but couldn't
find any pictures explaining in a precise manner about the territory and
population of these three groups. That's why I decided to make this simple map
by myself and to give the names West Slavia/West Slavialand, East Slavia/East Slavialand and South
Slavia/South Slavialand to these areas,
which is probably not so usual, but maybe we can start to use these terms from
this moment on.
SLAVIA - SLAVIC INITIATIVE
area: 18 694 500 км²
population: 287
052 000
language: Slavic and others
There are three main language groups in Europe: Ugro-
Finnish, Romano-Germanic and Slavic.
Slavic languages are spoken in thirteen European countries: Belarus, (White Russia), Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic,
Macedonia, Montenegro,
Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
Two unique Slavic languages are still spoken by the SORBS of LUSATIA in Germany, and by the “CROATS of GRADIŠĆE” (BURGENLAND CROATS) in Austria.
These communities, whose languages are spoken nowhere else, represent
very special minority cultures, and have preserved their Slavic culture and
indentity in their host countries.
Aside from the official languages, there are many regional dialects
spoken throughout Europe, which are less well- known and less studied.
Slavic languages extend over an area totalling 18
694 500 km², and are spoken by some 287 052 000
people, not including Slavonic people living outside of Slavonic
countries, for example Slavic people in the states of the former Soviet Union,
Baltic states, Kazakhstan, etc. (Statistic for 2005)
The SLAVIC CULTURAL INITIATIVE has
been created as a cultural bridge, to promote awareness of Slavic languages,
culture, history and traditions. It is a way for Slavic people of all origins
to come to know ourselves and each other better.
Those who speak one Slavic language as a mother tongue
should understand and speak all the Slavic languages. These languages are our
wealth.
Anyone can play a part in the Slavic Cultural
Initiative, whether you live in a Slavic country or abroad. We welcome your ideas, texts, initiatives,
suggestions, critiques.
Write us in any Slavic language, or any other major
language, especially English, which as today 's
world language will be the most important means for communicating in our Slavic Union.
This call we extend especially to descendants of the
Slavic people living around the world, almost as numerous today as those still
living in the original Slavic countries.
We hope to organize cultural activities of all kinds,
including sporting events featuring Slavic national teams.
No one can deny that we play great football, hockey,
basketball, handball, and other sports. Ultimately, this
could lead to organizing our own SLAVIC OLYMPICS,
a SLAVENIADA.
We propose a world-wide MISS
SLAVIA competition. No one can deny Slavic women are among the most
beautiful. We will organize a SONG OF SLAVIA
song competition, like we have today with the Eurovision song contest, and many
other interesting events are possible.
We will also propose educational programs and in primary
schools for teaching Slavic languages and culture.
We will provide teaching materials and organize fun
learning activities such as games and quizzes about Slavic literature,
geography, history and society. No one can deny that our literature is great.
Slavia - this beautiful old
slavic word will become our common name and bring us together.
..................There are great possibilities. Let' s make them happen!
Slavia - the Land
of Love, Peace and Freedom!
