Where this word comes from
Internationalism, based ultimately on Serbo-Croatian Jugoslavija (“Yugoslavia”), from Jugoslaven (“South Slav; Yugoslav”) + -ija (“land of”), literally “land of the South Slavs”. The ethnonym Jugoslaven is built from jug (“south”) and Slaven (“Slav”). The latter ultimately continues Proto-Slavic *slověninъ (“Slav”), traditionally connected with *slovo (“word”), though its deeper origin remains uncertain. Parallel international forms include Norwegian Nynorsk Jugoslavia, Faroese Jugoslavia, Finnish Jugoslavia, Danish Jugoslavien, Swedish Jugoslavien, German Jugoslawien, Dutch Joegoslavië, Italian Jugoslavia, French Yougoslavie and English Yugoslavia.
