(Thrace and Dobruja respectively). The only part of Greece that's not the Balkans are the Aegean islands. 2. Greece and Turkey share a really long common history, in forms of the Byzantine and the Ottoman Empires respectively, and recent history include the Cyprus dispute. 3. Italy is never considered a Balkan country, only 1 single city, Trieste is located on the Balkan peninsula that is part of Italy.

I have some constructive criticism here, as a Serb who lives on the Balkans, please do not get offended, i mean only good here 1. Greece culturally may not be Balkanic, but it definitely is geographically, as over 90% of its land is on the peninsula, hence why I personally believe it should have been mentioned, by cultural borders perhaps even Romania shouldn't be mentioned, given they are a romance country not a Slavic/Albanian one. But, as you said, you went by Encyclopedia Britannica, not your fault 2. On 4:35 and onward, you wrote "Slavs" as "Slaves". We don't really like that 3. I don't necessarily mind you mentioned Kosovo in your educational video about etymology, but what I do personally mind is you not mentioning the Serbian name for Kosovo which is "Kosovo and Metohija" as "Metohija" also has a relatively interesting etymology 4. Oh so many pronunciation mistakes, but i won't hold that against you as an English speaker, but one thing that's easily rectified is that pretty much all Slavic languages pronounce the letter "C" as "Ts", so it would be "Podgoritsa" instead of "Podgorika" 5. Near the end there is a technical mistake as you said the same thing twice in a row, that's just editing i assume Other than that, amazing video, keep up the good work and i hope your channel blows up even more in the future

I was going to put a like on the video before you screwed up mentioning "old Russian roots" for the name origin of Croatia - you either learn the history well and say that White Croats were a group of Early Slavic tribes who lived among other west and east Slavic tribes in the area of modern-day Lesser Poland, Galicia (Ukraine), and Northeastern Bohemia, or use Ruthenian/Rus meaning modern Ukrainian instead

There's a large Hindu temple atop an extinct volcano that was built during The Khmer Empire. While Thai is not an Indo-European language it does include a lot of loanwords from Sanskrit, particularly in official and academic, or scientific vocabulary; with religious vocabulary coming from Pali which was derived from Sanskrit. "Desh" also made its way into Thai as "Prathet" meaning "country" retaining spelling that indicates the "desh" origin, so it is wonderful to see the linguistic connection between Thailand and Slovenia. "Stan" as well is used in Thai "Sathaan" which means "place" or "sathaanakan" which means "situation".
