About Jirecek's line:
if one will go to Cernãuti, there will be a lot of Russian or Ukrainian
testymony for Slavic presence.
if you will go (by now) to Constantsa there will be a lot of testimony
for American presence.
Conclusion: The region of Cernauti was russified, everyone speaked
Russian, the region of Constanta was americanised, everyone speaked
English.
Of course, the conclusion is false. As the one with "jireck's linie"
too. The inscriptions made up by authorithies don't tell us anything
about the language the population spoke there.
