Eastern Beskids Of The Outer Western Carpathians
Eastern section of the Western Beskids ( cs, Východní část Západních Beskyd) are a set of mountain ranges spanning the southern Polish and northern Slovak border. They constitute an eastern section of the Western Beskids, within the Outer Western Carpathians. In geographic classification, the term ''Beskid Mountains'' has several definitions, related to distinctive historical and linguistic traditions. Depending on a particular classification, designation ''Eastern'' in relation to the Beskids is also used with different meanings. In Slovak terminology, the term ''Eastern Beskids'' ( sk, Východné Beskydy) is used to designate the eastern section of the Western Beskids. In Polish terminology, the same region is also classified as the eastern section of the Western Beskids, but not under the term ''Eastern Beskids'' ( pl, Beskidy Wschodnie), since that term is used to designate Eastern Beskids of the Outer Eastern Carpathians.

Polish Language
Polish (Polish: ''język polski'', , ''polszczyzna'' or simply ''polski'', ) is a West Slavic language of the Lechitic group written in the Latin script. It is spoken primarily in Poland and serves as the native language of the Poles. In addition to being the official language of Poland, it is also used by the Polish diaspora. There are over 50 million Polish speakers around the world. It ranks as the sixth most-spoken among languages of the European Union. Polish is subdivided into regional dialects and maintains strict T–V distinction pronouns, honorifics, and various forms of formalities when addressing individuals. The traditional 32-letter Polish alphabet has nine additions (''ą'', ''ć'', ''ę'', ''ł'', ''ń'', ''ó'', ''ś'', ''ź'', ''ż'') to the letters of the basic 26-letter Latin alphabet, while removing three (x, q, v). Those three letters are at times included in an extended 35-letter alphabet, although they are not used in native words. The traditional ...

Mountain Ranges Of Slovakia
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and ...

Central Section Of The Western Beskids
Central section of the Western Beskids ( cs, Střední část Západních Beskyd; pl, Środkowa część Beskidów Zachodnich) are a set of mountain ranges spanning the southern Polish and northern Slovak border. They constitute a section of the Western Beskids, within the Outer Western Carpathians. In geographic classification, the term '' Beskid Mountains'' has several definitions, related to distinctive historical and linguistic traditions.

In Slovak terminology, the term ''Central Beskids'' ( sk, Stredné Beskydy) is used to designate this section of the Beskid Mountains within the Outer Western Carpathians. In Polish terminology, the same region is also classified as the central section of the Western Beskids, but not under the term ''Central Beskids'' ( pl, Beskidy Środkowe), since that term is used to designate Lower Beskids of the Outer Ea ...

Divisions Of The Carpathians
Divisions of the Carpathians are a categorization of the Carpathian mountains system. Below is a detailed overview of the major subdivisions and ranges of the Carpathian Mountains. The Carpathians are a "subsystem" of a bigger Alps-Himalaya System that stretches from western Europe all the way to southern Asia, and are further divided into "provinces" and "subprovinces". The last level of the division, i.e. the actual mountain ranges and basins, is usually classified as "units". The main divisions are shown in the map on the right. To generalize, there are three major provinces (regions): Western Carpathians, Eastern Carpathians, and the Southern Carpathians. Naming conventions The division is largely (with many exceptions) undisputed at the lowest level (except for the Ukrainian part), but various divisions are given for the higher levels, especially for the penultimate level. A geomorphological division has been used as much as the data was available; other new physiogeo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Beskid Sądecki
Beskid Sądecki is a mountain range in the eastern section of the Western Beskids, within the Outer Western Carpathians. It is located in the border region between Poland and Slovakia. On the Polish side, it stretches along an area of 670 km², between the Dunajec river in the west and the valleys of the Kamienica Nawojowska river, Mochnaczka, Muszynka, Przełęcz Tylicka in the east. The highest peak of the mountain range is Radziejowa at 1262 metres. The mountains are built from flysch rocks. Topography The Beskid Sądecki links with three other mountain ranges: *Jaworzyny Range *Radziejowej Range *Leluchowskie Mountains According to Slovak geographers, Beskid Sądecki is part of Ľubovnianska vrchovina. The separation of the ranges was done by Poland, during the regionalisation of mountains made by Jerzy Kondracki, which the mountain range is named by in Slovakia. Some Polish geographers state that the Slovak part of the Radziejowej Range can be linked with the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Slovak Language
Slovak () , is a West Slavic language of the Czech–Slovak group, written in Latin script. It is part of the Indo-European language family, and is one of the Slavic languages, which are part of the larger Balto-Slavic branch. Spoken by approximately 5 million people as a native language, primarily ethnic Slovaks, it serves as the official language of Slovakia and one of the 24 official languages of the European Union. Slovak is closely related to Czech, to the point of mutual intelligibility to a very high degree, as well as Polish. Like other Slavic languages, Slovak is a fusional language with a complex system of morphology and relatively flexible word order. Its vocabulary has been extensively influenced by Latin and German and other Slavic languages. The Czech–Slovak group developed within West Slavic in the high medieval period, and the standardization of Czech and Slovak within the Czech–Slovak dialect continuum emerged in the early modern period.
