Les SLAVES sont-ils des ESCLAVES ?

🔹The root of the word for the Slavic people had the misfortune of being borrowed by Latin for the word sclavus*, which eventually came to mean "slave." Yet, the etymology of the word *Slav in Slavic is quite different. This video presents this etymology, the unfortunate journey of the root of Slavic word for "Slav" through the Romance and Germanic languages, and introduces the words for "slave" in Slavic languages, specifically Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Rusyn, Polish, Kashubian, Lower Sorbian, Upper Sorbian, Czech, Slovak, Slovene, Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian, and Bulgarian. 🔹Videos I mentioned: The origin of the word "robot":    • Mais d'où vient le mot ROBOT ? (russe ? al...   Metathesis of liquids:    • Langues slaves de l'EST VS OUEST et SUD : ...   🔹To support the channel, it's on: patreon.com/rozrazum (ko-fi.com is no longer available) 🔹About the Rozum-Razum Discord server: It's designed as a collaborative platform for creating content for the Rozum-Razum YouTube channel.
