>> Piotr, do you include the language of Novgorod Slovenes into Krivichian
subgroup?
I'm not sure that this is correct. Perhaps they had similar areas of origin
(somewhere close to western Slavic tribes) but moved northeastward as 2
different waves and are very distinctive archaeologically.

[Sergejus Tarasovas]
Dear Alexander,
Ilmen Slovenes are not Krivichians in any sense -- archeological or
linguistic.

[Alexander]
Yes, Sergei, I wanted to say the same. Perhaps I failed to do this clear
enough.



[Sergejus Tarasovas]
The language of Ilmen Slovenes seems to have no genetic affinities to
Krivichian, it was, most likely, very close to those (still unestablished,
but most likely those of Kievan Polianes) dialects that underly so called
Standard Old Russian, so the linguistic data are congruous with Sedov's
archeological concepts.

[Alexander]
I have never met information about possible affinity of Ilmen Slovenes with
Polianes (only with westernmost Slavic tribes like Obodrits). Could you
please give a reference?

Alexander
