Better division of Slavic groups

[Jana]

Do you think it would be better to divide Slavs in 4, instead of 3 groups (from linguistic, genetic point of view).
I would divide them to NW, SW, NE and SE Slavs rather than just to West, East and South.

NW Slavs - Sorbs, Poles, Kashubians, Czechs, Slovaks
SW Slavs - Slovenes, Croats, Bosniaks, Serbs, Montenegrins
SE Slavs - Macedonians, Bulgarians, Pomaks, Torbesh
NE Slavs - Rusyns, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians

Some groups could be included as well (Moravians, Bunjevci, Gorani), but their numbers are insignificant. What do you think?

[Jana]

One example - SW Slav like me (or your average Croat) is genetically considerably closer to Czechs and Slovaks than to Bulgarians and Macedonians.

It is theoretically possible to single out a group of central Slavs - Eastern Poland, Western Ukraine, the extreme west of Belarus, maybe eastern Slovakia, I think they are quite distinctive within the boundaries of the Slavic subset.

"Slavs" an un-historical term for some obscure and primitive tribe.

Slavs as a civilization never existed in the first place.

It's a modern term to designate "Slavic" language speakers which is lunacy for itself for most of Russians spoke Germanic and Turkic languages in 7th century.

Couldn't care less are they obscure or primitive, belonging to a linguistic group isn't determined by it's prestige. You are self-hating Slav with identity crisis because of Islam, deal with it.

Yeah, at the same time countries like Hungary or Romania are more likely to be more Slavic than Macedonians or Bulgarians XD

They are not Slavic. You can't be Slavic if you don't speak Slavic as mother language. Care to show me definition of a Slav that is based on genetics? Don't think so.

Core of Slavic DNA comes from PL/BLR borders, those are true Slavs. Language is not genetic factor, it's like saying my name is John therefore I'm British. Or I speak English, I'm British..
