Talk:Drevlians

Move
This page should be moved back to Drevlians. That is a better name for it. The current name does not reflect English conventions at all.Johnpacklambert 21:52, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

200,000 in 1861?
200,000 Drevlyans were counted in the 1861 census? Sounds dubious. 1982vdven (talk) 03:38, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Support not that it greatly matters but the usage in Scholar is also at approaching a 2:1 ratio in favour. Even though it was an early tribe (and I could be wrong on this but), the "..yan" ending seems to suggest something from folklore. GregKaye 14:05, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Support: Ngram (here) also suggests Drevlians is the predominant term. Ebonelm (talk) 22:33, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
