 | | They are defined by speaking Slavic languages and reside chiefly in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and Balkans, but are also found in Asia. |
 | | The idea that the Slavic people have more in common than their origin, the origin of their languages and some cultural aspects is derived from romantic nationalism, the panslavism movement and the notion of race as a biological basis of nations. |
 | | Almost all of the South Slavs can be traced to ethnic Slavs mixed with the local population of the Balkans (Illyrians, Thracians, Dacians and Getae) and with later invaders from the East (Bulgars, Avars, Alans, Petchenegs, Cumans). |
