Question

+ number of Slav people in the World???
& list of their countries ..

Answer 1

The Slavic peoples are a linguistic and ethnic branch of Indo-European peoples, living mainly in Europe. Since emerging from their original homeland (most commonly thought to be in Eastern Europe) in the early 6th century, they have inhabited most of eastern Central Europe, Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Many have later settled in Northern Asia or emigrated to other parts of the world.

Slavic settlers mixed with existing local populations and later invaders, thus modern Slavic peoples share few genetic traits. Yet they are connected by speaking often closely related Slavic languages, and also by a sense of common identity and history, which is present to different extents among different individuals and different Slavic peoples.

Slavic peoples are traditionally divided along linguistic lines into West Slavic (including Czechs, Poles and Slovaks), East Slavic (including Belarusians, Russians, and Ukrainians), and South Slavic (including Bosniaks, Bulgarians, Croats, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Serbs and Slovenians). For a more comprehensive list, see Ethno-cultural subdivisions.
Total population: c. 250-300 million
Regions with significant populations: Europe
Northern Asia
North America
South America
Australia
Language :Slavic languages
Religion :Christianity (Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Protestant), Sunni Islam

Answer 2

Slav people have scattered in many parts of not just Europe but also in the Mid- East ( Syria, Jordan ) we know this because they are the only countries in the Mid East to have Russian Orthodox Churches.
Their descendants were the Vikings who later settled down in Eastern parts of Europe, b4 their seperation they were just called Slavs but after their division the southern slav came to be known as Yugoslavia ( South Slavs ) and the northern part was modern Poland.

Answer 3

Slav:
member of the most numerous ethnic and linguistic body of peoples in Europe, residing chiefly in eastern and southeastern Europe but extending also across northern Asia to the Pacific Ocean. Slavic languages belong to the Indo-European family. Customarily Slavs are subdivided into east Slavs (chiefly Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians), west Slavs (chiefly Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, and Wends, or Sorbs), and south Slavs (chiefly Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, and Macedonians). Bulgarians, though of mixed origin like the Hungarians, speak a Slavic language and are often designated as south Slavs. (See Bulgar.)

Answer 4

LONG STORY SHORT:
The Slavs are a culture & linguistic group covering most of Eastern Europe with some exceptions. Basically anything east of Austria, south of Finland, north of Greece (excluding Romania & Hungary) is predominantly Slav in nature. There are many pockets throughout Europe and Russian Asia which are not Slav.
Total number of Slavs in the world is between 250-300-million.

Answer 5

Here in Bulgaria we are teaching that before our country became a country (681 A.C.) han Asparuh came in our (present) lands and make a pact with the slavs who were the occupants of the lands between Old Mountain (Stara Planina) and Dunav River. And after that they gained this land and made the Bulgarian country. Now thera aren't many slavs... at least there are no slavs in here- only their heirs- mostly the blond and white-skinned people (but they are a bit.

Answer 6

Slavs are nice people who lived in the steps of Russia. About 15 centuries ago, pressed by Turks and other Mongols moved West, found better climate and the Roman empire accepted them as neighbors, initially and later used them for different levels, soldiers, taxed people, etc.!
Now, they live everywhere, including Ukraine, Moldavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, FYROM, Greece, Bosnia, Hungary, ....
Excluding Russians, about 40 million!

Answer 7

WELL,
Finally you are in the right track...Keep going on.
In order to find your ID it is good to make questions....not steal other people's ID and cultural heritage.
By the way.... take off the star of VERGINA from your insignia because it doesn't belong to you. it Belongs to Macedonians, therfore to Greeks. Because Macedonians were, are and will be forever Greeks.
NOW, about Slavs I suppose they are about 300-500 millions spread around the world, mainly in East, Central Europe and Balcans.
The majority of them are proud that they are Slavs.
Only a minority (3-4 millions?) they don't like this ID and try to pinch the Macedonian ID (unsuccesfully) because they have nothing in continuation of the Macedonian(greek) culture.
It is like a tree..... the culture is the roots. Take the roots off a tree , and the tree falls easily.
You can find more info about your culture, my friend, if you open any encyclopaedia... to Letter "S" under the limit "SLAVS".
Good Luck

Answer 8

Slavic peoples are traditionally divided along linguistic lines into West Slavic (including Czechs, Poles and Slovaks), East Slavic (including Belarusians, Russians, and Ukrainians), and South Slavic (including Bosnians, Bulgarians, Croats, Slav-Macedonians, Montenegrins, Serbs and Slovenians).
The total amount of population is not easily counted but you can say roughly 200-250 millions (Russian population included!)

Answer 9

You know the answer.

You ask because you dream of a slavic union.

That's a wankker's dream because while you dream of that, your country of slavs is divided into 8 smaller states (Slovenia, Kroatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, FYR and Kossovo) and it's gonna divide again in more smaller states (in Bosnia, Kossovo and the Former Yugoslav Republic) unless you join with your motherland Bulgaria.

I have a question for you, since your country wasn't a republic why isn't called Former Yugoslav Socialist State ? I mean it was former Yugoslavian, but it wasn't a former republic right ?
