In East Germany you still have many Slavic toponyms can be found, basically anything that ends with -itz, -in or -ow. For example, the German capital Berlin comes from Slavic *brlo which means "swamp". You once had Polabian living around Berlin. Sadly the last Polabian speaker died in the late 17th. Sorbs still exist due to persistence, although they had to face restrictions and discrimination even in the middle ages (Germans forbid them to speak their own language).

It's not about to make them look bad but a matter of truth "the Old Sorbian tribes' loss of independence in the 10th century, the subsequent rural settlement of their territory by the Franks, Thuringians, and Saxons, the expansion of German cities and trade, and the official ban of the Sorbian language that came into effect in the 13th century." That's the reason why Sorbian was steadily replaced by German. That's also why Polabian and Old Prussian went extinct.

I had this subject in school 17 years ago, so your video is a nice refresher.

So basically, the answer comes down to “how you define Slavic” as in many cases the assimilation happened a long time ago and just in the case of German names and words and folklore we often cannot tell for sure where they originated, it could be Slavic or Germanic. Also, the video made one mistake: It is not just East Germany. Parts of Western Lower Saxony, Northern Bavaria and the entire west German state of Schleswig Holstein also were once settled by Slavic peoples and especially Schleswig Holstein shows that with its many place names.

@puclopuclik4108

Жыл бұрын

Slavic is a language group, nothing else. Although there are some genes related to the Slavic origin, its not shared by all population. And I would stress, that following maternal or paternal line doesn't make full picture of your origin, since you are looking on one ancestor from thousands. If we would apply the same to black Americans, almost all of them would be classified as Europeans. There is also another aspect to it. Genes don't always follow the language. Sometimes people adopt the language of invaders. E.g. Hungarians don't belong to the Indo-European family. In fact Indians and Persians are linguistically more related to germans and Slavs then Hungarians. But if you look on Hungarian genetic profile, they perfectly match the neighbouring countries. Or Sometimes people invaded areas and fused with existing population.

People used to trade from north to south all the time! So that's not unique. The reason we use -s, -is, us, is because Baltic languages have the most "archaic" form of Proto-Indo European language.

For example, the famous Greek football player Giorgos Karagounis his surname - in Latvian means - Battle Fire...

Hi Masaman, my family actually descends from the Sorbs. It took me many years to research this as all I knew was that my grandfather was 5th generation ‘German’ in the Ukraine and my grandmother was ‘3rd generation’ there. My grandfather still fought in WW1 and the family moved westwards over time. Before WW2 my grandparents moved to South America. My grandfather had a strange surname which appeared to be Slavic but my uncles always maintained that they were Germans although the younger siblings were born in the area where the Sorbs came from in Poland/East Germany. With my research I figured that the family on my grandfather’s side was Slavic rather than German. The German side came from my grandmother. I’ve recently taken a DNA test and this confirmed the half German half Slavic descendancy in my family, including some Scandinavian and Balkan, Scandinavian probably having been the influence in the Ukraine. My father came from a Austria where the German, Balkan and even some Celt appeared in my DNA .... truly awesome. Your documentary here sheds further light on the influences and mixtures in this area of Europe over the years. Thank you for a well done research.

@Masaman We Slavs are not from Asian step, we are white and our children are blond when born. We are living in Central Europe for minimum 10,000 years. The fact that some of us especially Russians have Asian look is because of Mongolian raids and not because we are Asians. Evolution doesn't work as fast otherwise Jewish people that lived in Poland for half of millenium would turn blond too, but they didn't. Stop spreading German anti slavic propaganda.

Thumbs up for the ending music!

My grandfather's East Prussian is originally from the eastern section of East Prussia. My father's Ancestry DNA Test is mostly Baltic, then Slavic, then Germanic in that order from highest to lowest % for population groups in that area. Our YDNA Haplogroup is N, and it probably was originally from the Varangian Swedes.

I read a 9th century chronicles of how the Germans and Slavs fought each other by Magdeburg. They mentioned that both parties when saw a newborn would steal it and raise them as theirs ;-)

There were also slavic nobles ruling in Germany. In Mecklenburg ruled the Obodrites with their headquarter in this castle, where is today the parliament of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweriner_Schloss ...and they had many other dukes and castles: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obodriten_(Adelsgeschlecht) In Pommern ruled the Greifen in this castle in Stettin: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stettiner_Schloss ...and in many other castles. They also ruled in Denmark and in Sweden (Erich der Pommer). de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greifen And in Silesia ruled the silesian Piastes who were an offspring of the polish kings, with many dukes and castles: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlesische_Piasten They were the nobles, who had accepted to turn to be christians. But where the slavs didnt want to become christians and opposed christianisation for about 400 years, like it was in Sachsen-Anhalt, Sachsen and in Brandenburg, they were finally conquered and the slavic nobles lost their positions to Germans.

I am reading a lot about this topic the last days and this is finally the best summary there to find. I am from Saxony myself and all my family considers themselfes to be german. It's a question of definition in the end. Maybe I am totally german just because I was raised german, speak german and act german. But I could also say that I am slavic just because I might contain more gens from the old slavic tribes than from germanic tribes.

It is a box mix. I am of Polish descent, but my last name (which wasnt redacted) has a German and Slavic mix.

Surnames dont really tell much about your origin, my surname is Austrian but I did a DNA test and it showed its of Celtic origin. Surnames were mainly given according to the language in the respective territory where one of your ancestors lived, no matter what his descend was.

As a German, I can say that the part east of the Elbe is like 80% Slavic genetics-wise, but culture-wise almost totally part of German culture with some regional specifics due to proximity to Poland and due to socialism. The large exception is a little part of saxony and Brandenburg which has its own Slavic language and is almost entirely catholic in contrast to the atheist surroundings

@@pascalbaryamo4568 Poles and Germans are more similar than both nations would like to admit. Maybe not as much as Czechs but even speaking of architecture, it's clear for me that German influence was much more significant than eastern one. The main difference now is that we are more conservative, due to historical factors.

Just how slavic austrians are

My wish for a upcoming video is Austria(maybe + their neighbours, former Habsburgcountries/ commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ethnographic_map_of_austrian_monarchy_czoernig_1855.jpg )

Can you do a video on the Volga Germans?

A few years ago I found on the Deutsche Welle website, an article, since removed, stating that in all of Germany, East and West, only about six percent of the population was really truly Germanic. The rest were pretty evenly divided between Slavic and Celtic origins, with a very significant admixture of Jewish genes. That information was based on extensive genetic studies.

Bavarian settlers divided the Slavic territory (Slovenia and Slovakia), therefore the northeastern and southern parts have the most Slavic ancestry.

There are still Croatian speaking villages in Burgenland in Austria, like Kroatisch Minihof and Kroatisch Geresdorf. Literally whole villages where everyone speaks Croatian, but inside Austria, but the villagers all hold Austrian nationality. Also in Kaernten (Carinthia) there are villages with a Slovenian speaking minority, who are Austrian nationals. Patchwork Europe. They didn't get moved out when Austria's borders were redrawn after WW1. Apart from that, lots of Austrians have Slavic names. I worked for a steel company in Steiermark in the 1990s. One of the Directors' names was Wehsely (Vasily), he was from Vienna, and the training department head was a Herr Wukitschiewitz, who was a local. And a lady in another Sales Office down the corridor from mine was a Frau Zilavec (her husband's surname, as she was married). They were all 100% Austrian German speakers, and didn't know any Slavic languages. They weren't the only ones but they are some of many examples which spring to mind. Others had Hungarian names.

Austria is little less Slavic than East Germany but still is significantly Slavic (except far West, Alpine part). Austrian province Carinthia named after Karantanians (or Xorutanie - as mentioned in Rus' chronicles) - which was original name of current Slovenes. Besides, there were Blaten (or Balaton) Slavic Principality in what-is-now West Hungary and East (near-border) Austria before Hungarian invasion in 890s. Btw, Slovaks differ from Czech and Poles. They have much more I2a1-L621-Y3120 and R1a-Z280-CTS3402, which approaches them to Slovenes, Serbo-Croatians and Ukrainians. And this also remarkable in their accent and language features.

@@rdtgr8 it feels more Slavic to me. My grandmothers last words were in Slovenian and on a bigger scale much of our food and names are clearly from the East. Obviously, we have also a strong Latin influence. All in all, it makes us culturally quite a bit different, but we still speak the same language and look mostly similar, though Slavic and Italian appearance is more prevalent.

Masaman,how about the Hungarians?They,re an Uralic people,and culture surrounded in Europe by mostly Slavic countries.So,I would imagine that they were probably influenced quite a lot by the Slavs who surrounded them,wouldn,t you? Anyway,kudos for another interesting video,my dear friend.Best wishes,Shalom,and God bless you.

all lands along the border of the Elbe River and from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic Sea to Venice of Italy are the lands of the Venets (Slavs)

Of course they are. Sorbians still exist and Polabians existed until not long ago. Most will probably disagree because of the modern notion of modern states.

The Germans are predominantly a mix of DNA groups R1a and R1b, which are actually Slavs and Celts, Germanic I1 is just over 10%.

Good video, and accurate as far as I can tell. My mom is Czech, dad Slovak. Mom did a DNA test and she is 10-20% German, maternal haplogroup H1a. BTW, there is a belief that more German men marry Slavic women as opposed to Slavic men with German women (although I know couples of both kinds).

Ironic that Hitler considered Slavs sub-human when most western Europeans have some slavic blood according to DNA samplings. Also, far more Russians than Germans have blond hair and blue eyes, thanks to Viking marauders of 1,000 years ago. So who is the real arian?
