Slovak vs. Slovakian

• One vote for Slovakian, three for Slovak. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 01:17, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Convert Slovakian to Slovak in the titles of the following categories:

• Category:Slovakian_people_by_occupation
• Category:Slovakian_composers
• Category:Slovakian_musicians

See Slovakia and Category:Slovakia regarding usage. -- Beland 18:22, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

That is an analogy from some places further south. But nearer to home, Czech means both nationality and ethnicity. You wouldn't use *Czechian. --Henrygb 19:05, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Slovakian is a real word, Czechian is not.GordyB 20:38, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• According to Slovak language, "The correct American English adjective for the language, people, and culture of Slovakia is Slovak". But British English uses Slovakian where American English would use Slovak, so it begins to look like another one of those issues. We just need to pick one standard to use. I'm going to try to figure out which set of categories was created first. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 18:52, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Hey, that was easy! The three Slovakian categories were created on October 12, 2004. Category:Slovak people was created on June 18. Shall we declare that the official scheme of choice? -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 18:53, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• I would like to complain about the information written by GorgyB about origin of Slovaks. This article/quote is untrue.
