Hello everyone,

I'm a researcher from Croatia and currently working on a project dealing with the history of Dubrovnik (Ragusa) and Dalmatia. I collected all the sources that I was looking for,...

Links are removed, but I've already found them. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

As part of my history research I need to read following travelogues:

1) This is the begynnynge, and contynuaunce of the pylgrymage of Sir Richarde Guylforde Knyght, London, 1511...

I'm not familiar with that one. Are there more examples? I literally have more than 100 sources regarding Catholic Slavs in Dubrovnik, Dalmatia and parts of Bosnia and literally Serbian identity is...

I didn't say that. The problem with Medieval identities is that we don't know how the people really regarded themselves back then. Users on forums like this one keep commiting one and the same...

Dude, the term "Catholic Serbs" is historically non-existent and a sort of an oxymoron. Dalmatians called all the Orthodox people in Dalmatia as "Serbs" regardless of where they came from (for...

The very fact that they are making case reports of Serbs who speak ikavian shows that ikavian reflex of yat was not originally Serbian and people who spoke ikavian in medieval times always regarded...

Exception confirms the rule. I myself personally met a few Serbs from Dalmatia and they all spoke different dialects than Croats. Of course some Serbs began speaking ikavian due to influence of...

Pretty much sums up everything :clap2:

Couldn't agree more. People of Central Dalmatian islands, especially Brač and Hvar are an admixture of Adratic Croats and Croats from hinterland and Herzegovina. The fact that in some Dalmatian...

Yes, cultural gap between Islands/narrow Adriatic coast and Dalmatian hinterland is there because of Venetian as opposite to Ottoman influence which reflected on the peoples' lifestyles and ways they...

In no Serbian lands does I2a becomes haplotype with highest frequency in absolute numbers, just in relative ones, so I really don't understand the hype it creates among Serbian nationalists. If...

That's not true at all. Dalmatia and Kosovo are pretty much different regions in all aspects. Montenegro and Dalmatia are comparable in some aspects, but not that similar either. Dalmatia and...

I've seen one in which Croats had by several % higher frequency of I2a than Serbs. But even if it's not true, nobody can deny that the highest frequencies of I2a are recorded on the Croatian ethnic...

I'm pretty sure that this guy is some Serbian troll hidden between a profile of some "Bosniak". Of course Present-day Serbs, let alone Bosniaks have nothing to do with present-day Dalmatia, they...

That's bullshit. Than you could say also "Serbs are speaking Croatian language" if you take into consideration that Medieval literates who were thoroughly enriching and developing this language never...

Genetically - YES. Similar people with some differences. Croats have somewhat bigger frequencies of R1a and I2a haplotypes, while Serbs have bigger frequency of E1b1b as well as several other...

Yeah, I investigated it now. You are right about the fact that Ukrainian ikavism developed later, but it was not in 15th century, rather the 2nd half of 13th century is believed to be the time when...

Maybe for the same reason why there are many regional movements today wanting to form regional identity. It's all about power and money. But in the case of Mato Topalović, one must understand that he...

I don't agree that ikavian was born from ijekavian. I think ikavian on the Balkans was separate from the beginning. Today you have ikavian in western Ukraine which is the only country, besides...

Šokci and Bunjevci are just a branch of croatian people, just like, for example, Boduli. If we talk about who they were in, let's say 12th century, it's pointless because you can't compare modern...

One more interesting thing, although it's not related to height. 7/11 first team players who played for croatian national football team in a crucial match against Slovakia and qualifed to the UEFA...

I don't know about Sinonad, but Andrija Kacic-Miosic is a very important figure in my town. He built franciscan monastery there and is regarded as one of the most important panslavists. He also wrote...

It doesn't matter who he sang about. Shakespeare wrote about Hamlet but he was not Danish himself. Croats and Serbs have been neighboring nations for centuries, living side by side, and sometimes...
