Talk:White Serbs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

White Serbia never exited because the name serbia came from the ottaman rule on Ragska around 1300AD when the Ottaman Conqured Ragska and renamed the Country To Servia meaning turks servants because the turks ruled the Servs for 500 years and the Servs became their Servants, they were later renamed to Serbia for reasons i dont know. --Marbus2 5 13:37, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

That is ridiculous. It is proven that name of the Serbs have nothing to do with Latin name "servant". Name of the Serbs is of Sarmatian origin and it is first recorded in Sarmatia Asiatica where Latin influence did not existed. See map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1729.jpg Here is also Euratlas map from AD 500 showing location of Serbs (Sorabi) in western Poland (white Serbia in that time): http://www.euratlas.com/big/big0500.htm So, check some sources before posting ridiculous comments, ok?

[edit] Some details are so visibly absent from the picture

The history of Croats and Serbs is parallel throughout so many ages that it is quite hard to defend their difference. If this was a crime story, all the readers would be by now chanting: "Mr. S. is the same person as Mr. C.!". Places and times closely match over span of over 1000 years and thousands of kilometers. Anyone would say, for descendants of totally unrelated peoples, they showed peculiar level of affinity for each other as well as similarity with each other. Either one group forced the other to follow, or one followed other because of some sort of long-term commitment or traditional relations, whatever the nature of it may had been.
