2018-04-18 21:45:59 UTC  

Rossi meaning red

2018-04-18 21:46:02 UTC

2018-04-18 21:46:03 UTC  

Russia

2018-04-18 21:46:27 UTC  

Okay, Bulgaria

2018-04-18 21:46:34 UTC  

Actually the russians still call themselfs "Rossia"

2018-04-18 21:46:41 UTC  

Bulgar-land

2018-04-18 21:46:52 UTC  

Want the origin of bulgar itself orrr

2018-04-18 21:47:00 UTC  

Nah, I already know.

2018-04-18 21:47:08 UTC  

Let me hear

2018-04-18 21:48:11 UTC  

Migration south of the Danube, fighting the Byzantines n’ shit, getting oppressed by the Ottomans, Independence, Balkan Wars, WWI + WW2, Communist dictatorship then here we are now.

2018-04-18 21:48:30 UTC  

Uh

2018-04-18 21:48:35 UTC  

Heavily generalized.

2018-04-18 21:48:42 UTC  

You didn't explain the origin of the word itself

2018-04-18 21:48:49 UTC  

Oooooooh.

2018-04-18 21:48:54 UTC  

You briefly explained their history

2018-04-18 21:48:57 UTC  

Shit.

2018-04-18 21:49:01 UTC  

ya

2018-04-18 21:49:15 UTC  

I’ll... look it up on my own time.

2018-04-18 21:49:24 UTC  

Anyway, Czechia.

2018-04-18 21:49:26 UTC  

No no I can explain

2018-04-18 21:49:31 UTC  

I know of it

2018-04-18 21:49:38 UTC  

Actually you can just observe

2018-04-18 21:51:19 UTC  

With the case of slovene "betatism" which happens to shift the letter v into b bulgar becomes logical meaning "vulgar" you might think thats where the term comes from but it's just linguistic coinsidence. Considering the slovenians still use the classic "bolgar" name it's easily recognizable at this point.
Volga-r means "man from the shores of lake Volga"

2018-04-18 21:51:57 UTC  

The turks still call them Bulgaristan

2018-04-18 21:52:09 UTC  

hinting their tartar history

2018-04-18 21:52:26 UTC  

Czechia?

2018-04-18 21:52:34 UTC  

The story of Czech, Lech and Rus

2018-04-18 21:52:39 UTC  

Easy as that

2018-04-18 21:52:58 UTC  

Or in our dialect Čeh means "small naughty, playful boy"

2018-04-18 21:53:18 UTC  

But probably shifted in meaning

2018-04-18 21:54:50 UTC  
2018-04-18 22:09:51 UTC  

Did you knew that the original Philadelphia is in Turkey, it was one of the Biblical Asian Churches.

2018-04-18 22:09:58 UTC  

How come the Unitedstatian one became more famous than it is beyond me.

2018-04-18 22:10:22 UTC  

@KoalaBear Oh you mentioned Sorbs, did you heard of a city with name very similar to Ljubjlana.

2018-04-18 22:10:51 UTC  

Lübeck was originally called Liubice, today it's the Alt-Lübeck part old town.

2018-04-18 22:11:34 UTC  

It was a seat of the Polabian Obotrites.

2018-04-18 22:13:03 UTC  

Here it was even featured in the Polish communist propaganda.

2018-04-18 22:13:19 UTC  

"We aren't here since yesterday, we had reached far to the west."
