>It's important to note though that the word 'slavery' came from the word 'Slav' and not the other way round. I was even told by some Poles that we call ourselves 'Slavs' because of the word 'slave'. The Polish word 'Słowianin' came about because 'Słowianie' ('the people of words') were the people who speak and whom we can understand, while for example 'Niemcy' were people who are 'Niemi' (mute) which is what we called them because we did not understand their words at all.

W sumie nigdy nie zwróciłem uwagi, że nie tylko Niemcy, bo niemi, ale też Słowianie, bo słowa, już pomijając na ile to faktyczne co w komentarzu to gra słów fajna.
