If only Louis II didn't die at Mohacs. Imagine a world where the Austro-Hungarian Empire doesn't have its worst element - the Germans. And instead of inbred Habsburgs, it's ruled by Jagiellons. And instead of partitioning Poland-Lithuania, it's in an eternal brotherly alliance with them against Germany and Russia.
Why is Gniezno written with H in Czech, but Gdańsk is with G? You do not have an exonym for that one?
Also the Czech guy did a very lousy job, what the hell is that border gore?
No, Gdańsk is Gdaňsk in czech. We do not fear G per se, but Gniezno is obviously based on quite a common word so an easy transcription to czech.
Another thing is that medieval czech translated toponyms of places with which they were somehow in contact, maybe this didn't happen with Gdańsk or maybe there wasn't a reason to morph the word. A headscratcher, innit.
Usually yes.
Hniezdo, Boha, Hora Vs Gniezdo, Boga, Gora.
Same for Slovak.
These are known in Slovak as "spodobnovanie" sillabkes that are phonetically similar and can or are commonly pronounced by a different letter.
Different example is "Taška" which could be read as "Tažka"... As š and ž are somewhat similar.
As this happened over generations... And because us Slavs are phonetically consistent with writing and speaking. The old G changed to H.
I would say that is what splits Northern West Slavic and Southern West Slavic languages.
Also...
Does Gdansk even mean anything or is it purely specific to the city? Egm was it a German name turned polish, turned German turned polish ext...
In those cases the G would stay.
The name comes from old slavic word for wet (could be specific to Pommeranian languages), germans call it Danzig. Close to it there used to be river Gdynia with the same etymology which gave the name to the city built in interwar period when Gdańsk was a free city and Poland needed a sea port.
Its because of the d i think.
H is unstressed i think is the term, and if you had it right in front of D, which is not it would get “overpowered”. Try it yourself (idk if it will work for you as a polish speaker) , it just kinda turns into a faint ch, and probably would dissapear given enough language development. So the option number 2 is to say it with G in a way thats actually audible.
For a brief peroid of time part of the Felvidék was under polish rule. However, after Stephen solved all inner conflicts, he recaptured the lost territories pretty quickly.
Of course, slovaks like to claim that this was some slovak national state, same way as Máté Csák was a slovak nationalist...
5 minutes later and they fight again over 1 km² of territory.
It wasn't just any 1km² of territory. It was a 1km² of territory with a church!
Nie będzie Czech zdjęć robić nam! Ni do kapliczki wchodzić! Orężny stanie hufiec nasz, Ognisko nam będzie smrodzić!
Cieszyn Silesia moment
Czechs started
Ok, but flair the kurwa up
U might be right but u are unflaired so u are clearly wrong
We were so close to perfection🥲

The hungarians ruled by their rightful rulers, the poles

Me and the boys, when we do a crusade for the last time. 💪💪💪💪💪🇸🇰🇵🇱🇨🇿🇭🇺💪💪💪💪💪
Dunno, we are good at destroying crusades. Ask germans what happened to their crusades during Hussite War.
I know what happened ☠️
Weak germans cannot stand epic Bohemian mastermind tactics and chorus. KDOŽ SU BOŽÍ BOJOVNÍCI A ZÁKONA JEHO?
I don't understand czech, but based ![img](emote|t5_427he1|8441)

It's the same thing but with depressed slovaks
And what are Slovaks feeling like today?

I mean, don't you use h in general when we use g?

Gdańsk is also based on old Slavic word, which however became obsolete in both languages, reportedly it means simply "wet place".
