Not to mention slovenly.

Were slavs ever slaves?

yes, longer than niggers actually.

>aryan sounds like orja which means slave in finnish
hhmmmm

>slob
The qagan of the Avars boasted of having freed a great
number of Roman prisoners he had found north of the Danube, during his punitive expedition
of  (Menander the Guardsman, fr. ; cf. .). By contrast, the very name of the Sclavenes seems to have been at the origin of the word “slave” in both Greek and Latin. See Verlinden
:; Schelesniker :; Köpstein :; Nystazopoulou-Pelekidou :. To my
knowledge, the only instance of Sclavenes selling their prisoners of war is the episode reported in
Book  of the Miracles of St Demetrius ( .). In this case, however, prisoners were sold to other
Sclavenes, not to the Byzantines.

There is an alternative etymology that suggests an internal derivation for Mediaeval Latin "sclavus" (from where the modern Western words are borrowed), though I can't remember what the argumentation was right now (in short, it might be simply a homonym).

Nope, this is an unrelated word.

Great Moravia and Kievan Rus had YUGE slave markets, and it's hypothesized this is the reason for the spread of the word.

the italian greeting "ciao" comes from slav too
the evolution of the word has been this: slavo -> schiavo -> sciao (dialect form) -> ciao

>why yes i am central evropean and a SLAVe, how could you tell?

>I greet with ciao
my ancestor...

Funny thing because Russians enslaved Finns back in medieval times

hehe

fuck I wish I was a slave you're like OG niggers so blacks cant talk shit about you and call you a racist

Were Serbs servants?

at that time we were known as "rascianes" to the west, as our "capital" was the complex of towns and fortresses known as "ras"

In french it's "esclave" so it really comes from the latin "sclavus" in that case...

no, you were literally known as servs, your flag is proof of that cuckoldry

mostly southern slavs

imagine being so butthurt that you have to literally overwrite history

CCCC btw lmao

Yep, and I'm absolutely okay with that
"Vandals" is the name of some ancient germanic tribes btw. It's no big deal

We wuz serfs to our own people

>The Slavic autonym *Slověninъ is usually considered a derivation from slovo "word", originally denoting "people who speak (the same language)", i. e. people who understand each other, in contrast to the Slavic word denoting "foreign people", namely němci, meaning "mumbling, murmuring people" (from Slavic *němъ "mumbling, mute"). The latter word may be the derivation of words to denote "Germans" or "Germanic peoples" in many later Slavic languages: e. g., Czech Němec, Slovak Nemec, Slovene Nemec, Belarusian, Russian and Bulgarian Heмeц, Serbian Heмaц, Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian Nijemac, Polish Niemiec

the argument is that the word for slave comes from the word slav, not the other way around

Yes, for the majority of their history. Underlined part of pic related.

it's true, the romans called slaves "servi"

The word "Slav" in Swedish = slave.

Yes, but to other Slavs.

>the word vandal comes from a germanic tribe

i wonder if any other languages have servitude as a greet thats pretty cool

Not a face-to-face greeting, but in Turkish when you're answering the phone or you didn't quite understand someone, you say "efendim" which literally means "my effendi" (effendi comes from Ancient Greek authentes meaning lord)

Nice reading comprehension.
>cope

Rus' people (Swedes) enslaved them, and they enslaved Slavs too. Nice cope though.
