>european niggas in middle ages had so many slav slaves that the word slav replaced whatever word they had for slave and they still use the word that comes from slavs as slave after centuries
>>218280422What's Turkic word for slave?In Finnic languages its orja (aryan)
>>218280422I don’t think that’s actually the origin of the name. During the roman period which was the one out of two major eras of enslaved europeans, Rome and slavic territories didn’t interract much. Save for thrace but its debatable if they could even be counted as slavs back then. During the barbary slave trade it was mostly western europeans from places like iberia and ireland that was shipped off to north africa
