Poles closer to Latvians and Estonians or to Slovenians ?

[cass]

I think my ancestry is problematic for you or you would not go back and forth in this topic in different threads but that is your problem not mine..

I am lacking some racist mentality of my dad for example, I tone it down, where he has internal Polish people mentality he lives there fulltime in the mountains. I am diaspora Pole but Polski jezyk is my native. I too was raised by ex Ukrainians ex Jews also in the west. I prefer it here, if I go to Poland now (I go every now and then Poland every 1-3 years my mother is buried there) and I am rich as King just as my ancestor. You living low standard of life there now, compared to me. You are peasant as your ancestors. Do you feel more Polish than me? You are just wiesniak from Prussia..

My uncle was last Prime Minister of Second Republic, where was your ancestor?

That's so childish and dumb.

Slovenians (as being slavics).


No matter as Estonians (Finno Ugrics) and Latvians (Baltics) differs from each others.

Slavs = language community only, the same way Mozambique people aren't Europeans or/and Portuguese, or Malay people are not British

As a Pole I feel I am closer to Slovenians

Slovenes - religion, language, and also our appearance is slightly more similar. Not everyone knows though that Poland used to have a common border with an independent country Latvia (here seen between 1918 and 1939). There is a Polish minority on Latvia too (they form above 2% of the population). In the region close to our historical border it accounts to above 10% of local population. So in a way we're close to Latvia, also because these territories were part of The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and some isolated exclaves in Latvia were formally under Polish jurisdiction. But I don't think the cultural ties or similarities between Poland and Latvia or Estonia are stronger. It's tough to say. One could also point to the fact that Polish and Slovene are also already seperated by a longer period of time in certain ways. Slovenian folk music and customs are in a way more German than Polish or Balto-Ugro-Finnic. I think that genetically many Poles cluster closer to Slovenians than to Latvians especially in the south.

I feel closer to Lithuanians. They are close to Latvians and so on. Maybe little more to Slovenia than Estonia.
