I've been to Bolivia and Peru, for the Spanish language speaking countries. I learned the majority of my spanish in Bolivia, actually. My step family is all Colombian, though, and my ex-boss and a lot of my co-workers are too, and a lot of the management on the crew I was working on in Bolivia were also Colombian, so my Spanish is heavily influenced by Colombia. And yes, they do pronounce y's and double l's as an English j sound.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
They first appeared in Europe at Ukraine; that is not to say that they are actually from Ukraine. There is a major distinction here.
I don't know what part of history you're referring to. The Germanic peoples of Sweden did engage in large scale migration down to the the shores of the Black Sea. But they were invaded by the Huns when that horde showed up two centuries later.If you read the anceint accounts it makes it seem like they must have been Mongolians or something, but n closer inspection you find that the Horse tribes of the central Russia who were Germanic peoples, they spoke Gothic which is a Germanic language.
The Hittites were Anatolian. What evidence links them to Germanic peoples?History actually supports the idea that the Germanic People started out in the Near east and moved north west. Evidence has linked the Hittite Empire with Germanic peoples.
The problem with your interpretation is that the Huns ceased to exist fairly soon after the death of the Scourge of God in the first place. Whatever genetic lineage they did or did not leave behind doesn't really show anything. Moreover the Huns are completely unrelated to Hungary.
That's because Thracians were Indo-Europeans. It doesn't make them Germanic.As for the Thracians, um that is the Greek name for the Germanic tribes. All the Genetic evidence and even the language they had is a root of both the Germanic and Slavic language groups.
As did the Hellenes, the Romans, the Celts... You're just looking at the origin of the Indo-European peoples in general when you go that far back.What happened is easy to trace, The Caucasian tribes of 12,000 years ago Who where not the only white people filled up all of the flat grassy lands of Russia, they became horse-men and farmers... The Germanic, Slavic, and Ulric peoples came from these groups.
That's the plot of the Aeneid. The founding of Rome is traditionally dated to 753 BC, some five centuries after the Trojan War.Just after the Fall of Troy an Asian Greek City State Rome was founded, many believe it was actually a Trojan colony.

That is true, but it also emerged after the Fall of the Roman Empire (in the West). (Primarily Muslim states) imported massive numbers of Slavic peoples as slaves during the Early Middle Ages, hence the connection. It's not because Romans were particularly found of enslaving Slavs.
That is what i tried to explain to gothicshark. He looks at it far too simplistic. He ignores Sarmatians, Scytians, Persians, Turkic tribes etc.
This goes back to the root of the topic. Slav in the Slavic languages means mostly from Slava (Glory). Deutsch in the Slavic languages means Nemec (Mute, who can't speak) since they spoke a unknown language.
The Greeks called Thracians so because it means wild and bloodthirsty (for their standarts)
I really dislike how in english Türkiye is written Turkey like the bird.
The word Türk originates from chinese and meant the mighty.
This is going to be the first thread in an online gaming forum that will be mentioned in an Anthropology thesis.
Called it first.
