Evo i jednog interesantnog teksta o slovenskoj pradomovini, doduše na engleskom
"In new Slavic studies revived interest in one of the oldest hypotheses about the homeland of Slavs Danube-Pannonian (Balkan) hypothesis, which on the beginning of last century was based solely on chronicle data from the XII century ("History of the past years") that the Slavs in ancient times inhabited the area Hungary and Bulgaria, before there were some Slavic tribes (Moravians, Czechs, White Croats, Serbs, Hobutani, Lahovi, Ljutici and others.) moved to new territories, where some remained permanently. Since this information didnt had a stronger confirmation from another source, the hypothesis that it was based on it, by time is marginalized as unfounded and without scientific credibility. However, in modern Slavic studies (eg in the works of O. N. Trubacov, V. P. Kobicev, L. Trbuhović and others)That Old idea started with more convincing to reinforces with the linguistic, historical, ethnographic and other arguments. Thus, for example, draws attention to the similarity of names Venets tribea from the north Adriatic (cf. today's name for Venice) and one of Slavic ethnonyms - Venedi, and especially the fact that the mentioned Chronicle explicitly states that the Slavs called Norci (while they lived on the Danube), a more ancient sources mentions the Scythians and the people Neuri, while its historically known that in the fourth century BC the Celts devastated province of Noricum in the upper Danube (most modern Slavists taken as certain that the middle of the first millennium BC language Preslavic language was formed). It is not known exactly what happened to the population of Noric: was killed, or assimilated, or are scattered in different directions under Celtic invasion, or be moved in a certain direction. It is not certain ethnicity of the Noric population; presumably it could be North Illiric or ethnically mixed. It is interesting that a certain number of hydronym from the area of the upper and middle Danube basin (eg the Danube, Mura, Tisa et al.) can be found in the Slavic northeast in the form of deminutiv and hipocoristic derivatives, which would have testified that in possible Slavic migration from the Danube through the Carpathians names of some rivers could be transferred to the new homeland. In the field of ethnography, it is interesting, for example, that in the Belarusian folklore has a lot of songs on the Danube, although Belarus is far from the Danube. Archaeologist Leposava Trbuhović allows the possibility that Panonians from I v. n. e., described by Dion Cassius, in fact, Slavs, a famous Russian Slavic O. N. Trubačov supports the hypothesis of the Danubian homeland of Slavs with results of etymological research. The idea of Danubian homeland of Slavs would imply the conclusion that the Slavic migration to the south in the sixth century really were migrations in the direction from which the Slavs tenth centuries earlier gone to the north, with the possibility that some were never left the territory of the old homeland. In other words, the hypothesis of the Danubian homeland of Slavs is not necessarily incompatible with other hypotheses, if we consider that the territory of homeland in the distant past could be changed, ie. assuming that there were two homeland of Slavs. Danubian homeland in that case could be preceded some other one later."
