La troisième branche des Slaves du Sud, ce sont les Slovènes, appelé Wendes du Sud par les Allemands. Le cours de la Drave (Drau) peut être regardé comme leur frontière ethnographique. Toutes les populations qui sont au sud de cette rivière, soit dans la Styrie, soit dans la Carinthie et dans le Carniole, sont des Slovènes. Leur dialecte est le même qu'on parle dans les villages du territoire de Trieste, et que parle aussi le peuple de cette ville, ainsi qu'une partie de l'Istrie et même un certain nombre de communes dans la délégation d'Udine en Vénétie. Ce dialecte se rapproche le plus de celui des Croates. Cependant les Slovènes se sont créé une littérature propre qu'ils cultivent avec beaucoup d'activité et d'affection. Le clergé catholique de ces populations, qui lui en savent bon gré, s'occupe incessamment de l'instruction populaire. Le foyer d'où jaillissent leurs productions littéraires est Laybach, capitale du Carniole. Au parlement de Vienne, en 1848, ils se rangèrent du parti slave, et lorsqu'il s'agit de changer la délimitation et la division des provinces de l'Autriche, ils demandèrent que les populations allemandes de leur pays fussent annexées à la Styrie, et tous les Slovènes réunis en une seule province sous le nom de Slovénie.


 

1300s BC Vannes is a city of about 50 000 inhabitants located in Brittany in the west of France. It was founded more than 2000 years ago.

The Veneti were a seafaring tribe that lived in what is modern day Brittany, France. The most notable city, and probably the capital was Darioritum, mentioned in the Geography by Ptolemy. It was also called Vannes, probably by the name of the population, since the Middle Ages, being the residence of the Dukes of Brittany. It is located by the Gulf of Morbihan, in the Morbihan département.

The term Venedes is used in a number of ancient texts, starting with Tacitus, to describe an ethnic group living (presumably) in Central Europe. The exact identity of the Venedes is hotly debated, and most of the theories put forward surrounding them are controversial.

According to one theory, the Venedes are simply the same as the people now called Slavs. According to another theory, however, the Venedes were a distinct group, either indigenous to the area or simply a separate wave of immigrants. Those who see the Venedes as a separate group generally claim that the Venedes eventually merged with the Slavs, forming the modern Slavic ethnicity. Some, however, believe that the modern Slovenians are the direct descendents of the Venedes, and are not (as commonly claimed) Slavic.

The linguistic study of the term "Venedes" is similarly controversial. Some see it as being linked to the name "Slovenia", and some also claim a link to "Venice" (which is adjacent to Slovenia). Other hypotetically related names or variations are "Wends", "Veneti", "Veneds", "Venetkeni", "Venetkini", "Venedi", "Vinedi", "Vendi", "Venethi", "Sclavi", "Sclavini", "Sclaveni", "Slovonici", "Wenets", "Venets", and "Wenetes".

OTE a theory about connections between the Veneti and Proto-Slovenes is believed to be speculative or even pseudohistorical.

  • Circa 1300 BC - The Veneti (Venedes) ('Venetkeni', 'Venetkini', 'Venedi', 'Vinedi', 'Vendi', (Jordanes 'Venethi'), 'Sclavi', 'Sclavini', (Jordanes 'Sclaveni'), 'Slovonici') (Greek Venedes, Homer shortened the name to 'Enetoi', Jordanes wrote 'Ainetoi' ("Laudable")) | (also Wenets, Veneds, Venets, Wenetes) (not to be confused with Venetians or Venicians), the Proto-Slavs (Proto-Slovenes, Slo-veneti, Sloventi), an Aryan folk from Sorbian (Lusatian (Lusation), Wendish) culture along the Amber Road conquer and settle region between the Baltic and Adriatic Sea.

 

Les langues slaves constituent l'une des branches les plus importantes et les plus homogènes de la famille indo-européenne. Au total, c’est plus de 315 millions de locuteurs dans le monde, qui parlent des langues slaves. Les langues principales sont le russe (170 millions), le polonais (44 millions), l'ukrainien (41 millions), le serbo-croate (20 millions), le tchèque (12 millions), le bulgare (9 millions), le macédonien (2 millions), le biélorusse (10,2 millions), le slovaque (5,6 millions), le slovène (2,2 million). Il existe aussi des langues mineures comme le sorabe (70 000) parlé en Allemagne et le ruthène (125 000), lequel est apparenté à l’ukrainien et est parlé en Ukraine, en Roumanie et en Slovaquie.
