Author Description

Excerpt from The Slavs of Austria-Hungary Who are the Slavs? They are a people who some two thousand years before Christ, settled around the Baltic sea and later upon the Danube. Philologists are disagreed as to Whether the cradle of the Slavic race should be placed in the neighborhood of the Baltic or further south near the present Balkan territory. Be that as it may, philologists are unanimous in asserting the relationship of the Slavic tongues to the indo-european or Aryan languages.
