I'm not sure, but Quinqueecclesien, mentioned in the first paragraph, seems to be a declined version of the Latin name (Quinque Ecclesiae, as mentioned below). Can someone who actually knows Latin check it? Thanks. – Alensha  15:35, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

According to my dictionary of Hungarian toponymy it is a mistake. Zello 18:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

It's a Germanized version, not a Latin form.

[edit] Sopianae

For all I know, the conclusion that Sopianae was not a city is correct; but plural forms for cities are perfectly possible: the Latin for Athens is Athenae; and there were Veii and Pompeii in Italy. Septentrionalis 00:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

We really need to look into what names we should include in the lead. We also need a Rusyn, Armenian, Yiddish etc. form? Or simply focus on the form(s) that may be found in English language sources? Squash Racket (talk) 15:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

The Balaton Principality and Great Moravia having anything to do with modern Slovaks is a highly debated issue even among Slovak historians. Squash Racket (talk) 16:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I dropped a line at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names), because this won't work that way in the long term. According to this guideline the lead may look like an odd dictionary depending on the case. Squash Racket (talk) 16:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Great Moravia

According to Slovak historian Dusan Kovác ,Great Moravia was inhabited by Slavs, the term Slovak is appropriate for XVth century at the earliest, source, [[1]]. Hobartimus (talk) 16:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
