Talk:Firebird (Slavic folklore)

Pheonix

It seems very similar to the Pheonix, could they have a common root?

Anything's possible, but figuring out the common roots of an oral tradition is -- rather tricky. Goldfritha 00:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Slavic

These is a common Slavic mythological creature. Why is it labeled as exclusively Russian?--Laveol ^T 23:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

There must be some source that discusses the origin

Even the slavic myths have the motif of capturing the bird in a faraway land which lends itself to a foreign origin. If someone could find a source that discusses this it would be helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.34.219 (talk) 04:57, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Hungarian

Despite the fact that hungarian language and folklore are not slavic, the hungarian name of the creature appears in the list of the various slavic languages in the beginning of the article. I know that the writers may have known this, but it can be misleading and suggest Hungary as a slavic nation. Thus, I recommend Hungarian to be removed from the list. Edit: I decided to remove it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.3.21.147 (talk) 22:17, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
