Moravian "Slovakia"
editI don't know who writes this nonsense. Historically, Moravske Slovacko [in Moravian slang] is a vaguely defined entity of Moravian territory. The term, or name however, did exist for number of centuries. By comparison, the name Slovakia as name of an independent territory, only existed in aftermath of Treaty of Trianon [1920]. Till 1920, Slovakia as such did not exist, in name, or otherwise. The current Slovak territory was known as Northern Hungary and it didn't have even status of province within the kingdom of Hungary. The official language of what is now Slovakia, was Latin and subsequently the Hungarian. The Slovak capital Bratislava .. []Pressburg in German, or Posonium in Latin ... was a place where most Hungarian Kings were crowned. Till this day [despite of Hungarian population ethnic clensing after 1945], there is still a substantial Hungarian minority in Southern Slovakia. So to me to suggest, that Moravske Slovacko has any historical ties to Slovakia, other than, that Slovaks have borrowed the name "Slovacko" and called the territory that was an integral part of Hungary for nigh on 1000 years .. a "Slovakia" ... is a joke. Whilst there were small pockets of Slav speaking population, within the territory of Northern Hungary remnants of Czech paramilitary organization called Brotherhood [John Hus followers], mostly wiped out during the Matthias Corvinus reign, the Slovak language is only mentioned with establishment of [short lived] Matice Slovenska in 1863. And the Slovak language [of which grammar at that time, was based on the slang of bordering Moravske Slovacko ... was taught in schools established by Matice Slovenska ... by Czech teachers. When Czechoslovakia eventually split up in January 1993 ... a significant number of Slovaks lived and worked on Moravian territory. These people, as well as some that lived on territory of Slovakia, have requested the Czech citizenship after January 1993. So to say that Moravske Slovacko is Moravia Slovakia, is an insult to Moravians.<ref: The Encyclopedia of History of the World / William Lager><ref: History of Czech Lands / F Palacky><ref: VelkoMoravska Rise / Wiki ><ref: written Czech grammar / Cyril & Methodius> — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.75.174 (talk) 05:39, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
Using your own words: I don't know who writes this nonsense.
Slovaks never used Latin language among themselves, you must be kidding. They used their dialects as do Swiss people (in the German part) even today.
Matica slovenska was short lived, because it was closed/prohibited by Hungarians, as were Slovak schools. "small pockets of Slav speaking population" must be a joke from your side.
"the name Slovakia as name of an independent territory" - Also dependent territories have names. And the names of Slovakia and Slovenia are derived from the same ethnonym that is more than 1000 years old. The name of Bratislava in any languagas is of Slavic origin (incl. Pressburg and Posonium). As is the name of Balaton (from "blato", mud), Visegrad and many other towns in Lower Hungary, or "Szamorodni" Tokaj or names of the week in Hungarian (szerda, csütörtök). One of the most frequent family names (top 3) in Hungary is Toth (Slovak), guess why! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.147.186.114 (talk) 19:10, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
