Social:Slavicisation
From HandWiki
Short description: Adoption or imposition of Slavic culture on a non-Slavic population
Slavicisation or Slavicization, is the acculturation of something Slavic into a non-Slavic culture, cuisine, region, or nation. To a lesser degree, it also means acculturation or adoption of something non-Slavic into Slavic culture or terms. The process can either be voluntary or applied through varying degrees of pressure.
The term can also refer to the historical Slavic migrations to Southeastern Europe which gradually Slavicized large areas previously inhabited by other ethnic peoples. In northern Russia, there was also mass Slavization of Finnic and Baltic population in the 9th-10th centuries.[1]
After historic ethnogenesis and distinct nationalisation, ten main subsets of the process apply in modern times:
- Belarusization
- Bosniakisation
- Bulgarisation
- Croatisation
- Czechization
- Macedonization
- Polonization
- Russification
- Serbianisation
- Slovakization
- Ukrainization
