Talk:Gord (Slavic settlement)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please change the name of Belgrade into Beograd. Belgrade is the english-version of the name. Beograd is the native Serbian name, and it better illustrates the point that that the writter is making.
Regards and best wishes.

[edit] SLAVIC GORDS AND LUSITIAN CULTURE
I think we should distinguish Slavic gords that were build since about VI-VII a.d. from much older fortified villages (like Biskupin built by Lusitian Culture) - Slavic gords and much older fortified villages have nothing in common!! The only common thing is that both are made from wood (but it was GREAT FOREST COUNTRY!! - what type of material should they use when there were millions of wood out there :)) So if there is nothing in common than I think we should split gord into twho different records. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.139.8.24 (talk) 18:01, 10 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Gord?
I believe You wanted to write 'grod'.
- no, grod is much later Polish and Lusitian form of Slavic gord. -or- before consonant changed into -ro-/ra/oro in different Slavonic groups (thats why today Polish gród, Serbian grad and Russian gorod)
Be well
- Actually Beograd is the Bosnian and Montenegrin name for Belgrade, from whom today's Beograd stole the model back in AD 1125. Only joking! It's better to list the two variants but it should primarily be in English as indeed this is written in English to communicate to English speakers. If I were to speak to you of a country called Sakartvelo, would you know where I meant BEFORE revising it? Be honest! :) Celt 29-01-06
[edit] Germanic and Nordic
Isn't having Nordic superfluous as the North Germanic languages are a branch of the Germanic language branch?
- I think it is. I removed it. Kpalion 01:42, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge from Grad (geography)
The contents of that article don't significantly add to or differentiate themselves from this one. Any objections to merging? —Michael Z. 2006-09-22 02:15 Z
