Dalmatian dogs come from Dalmatia! But where is that? #Croatia

[animefreak]

What is the biggest island in Croatia depends on the definition. Most people say Krk, but the channel dividing Cres and Lošinj is artificial (built by the Romans), so it isn't always counted and their combined area is larger than Krk.

Ranking countries by coastline is always a bit ambiguous because of the infinite coastline paradox. Depending on the size of your measuring unit you'll get a very different answer. Like if you measured the length of the US and Norway's coastlines with a ruler that was a kilometre long the US would obviously be way longer, but if you used a 1 metre ruler then Norway would be longer because of all the fjords and islands.

Croatian: Hrvatska "HƏR-vaht-skah"
Polish: Chorwacja "hohr-VAH-tsyah"
English: Croatia "krow-WAY-shah"

The English name and the Slavic name are etymologically related so not really comparable to Germany.

WOW…! SO ENJOYED this vid/history…! YOU make it Zinteresting!! THANK YOU…! 👍🏻👍🏻‼️

[Sethios]

your pronunciation of "Hrvatska" isn't bad, you just need to switch the emphasis on "Hr" instead of "vat" and you'll be a spot on :)

There's a flying pig with a floatplane camp on one of those islands.

4th, today i learned thanks geography now

[DragonTheOneDZA]

Hrvatska and croatia are still very similar
H and C sounds change a bunch so crvatska and in older english we called them crovats instead of croats

[giorgiociaravolol]

They have so much coastline but still don't know how to use it

[HolgerJakobs]

I recently learned another name for Deutschland: "Vācija" is what they call it in Latvija.

Istria and dalmazia where part of italy befor 1945 i can go there and speak italian with them

[perogun]

I don't want to be that guy since this video is years old at this point but Cres is pronounced Ts-res and not Kres

[chemgym]

its not comparable bcs what all slavic countries use its almost same as native croatians use. You know they call themselfs hrvatska right? 😂

[aarifmohamed]

What's with the goofy background music?🥴

[hball]

Bro, no.

Measuring coastline is pointless because of the coastline paradox, besides croatia includes islands in it’s coastline, if a country like sweden (with the most islands in the world [sort of]) counted islands coastline as well it would surpass croatia.

Most of the time if you want an approximation of coastline look at a map and assume from what land is next to the ocean. And from just looking at South africa You know it has more coastline.

Do better.

Historically Dalmatia is by itself nothing to do with 🇭🇷
