But they are readily identifiable by language and often facial features.

There are no Slavs. It isn't a race nor DNA-based group.


How do you mean there are no Slavs.
The word, signifier is there that means something is signified. Slavs:))
(R1a1 Y DNA haplogroup?)
You can recognize them when you see guys who don't have millions walking with gfs who look like models on their side. They will produce new Slavs, and so on.

I have a sense of belonging to big Slavic world.
For me they exist.

Natasa understood a fair bit of Polish when I asked her but Slovio would facilitate a compromise. I fear that many Poles wouldn't be fair game as too many lazily stick to their own language (coming from a Brit, runs for cover with BB). Many Poles don't even know Ukrainian. Look at me, I know my neighbour's language and I'm Scottish ;) ;)

I'm sure in the virtual kitchen of your mind there are also unicorns and goblins helping with the dishes but it doesn't mean I can ask them to chop my vegetables. Similarly, there is nothing real that distinguishes 'slavs' from 'the rest of the world. Slavic languages share some features as do some people who speak them but there is no slavic race or people these days.

Sorry, you're saying there's a Slavic gene?

Do not use that hieroglyphic language of modern science. Say straight what you mean, even if you are an old good Nazi!

On its own terms, maybe Slovio is okay, but as a slavic bridge language it's awful with a very un-slavic grammar.

Slovianksi is much better as an LCD Slavic language.

The balance of how Slovio would lean to any one Slavic language should depend on contributions and effort shown towards the concept. For example, the Russian group Arkona have really set out to be pan-Slavic and they should be rewarded for that.

Also, Slavs would do well to remember that folk metal unites and religion divides. I remember being at a concert in Brno where there were Slavs from all over. It was actually a Celtic shared festival with Slavic elements. Great stuff!

For those pan-Slavic followers here, check out Arkona. They are worth listening to :)
