South Slavic Languages
The South Slavic languages are one of three branches of the Slavic languages. There are approximately 30 million speakers, mainly in the Balkans. These are separated geographically from speakers of the other two Slavic branches (West and East) by a belt of German, Hungarian and Romanian speakers. History The first South Slavic language to be written (also the first attested Slavic language) was the variety of the Eastern South Slavic spoken in Thessaloniki, now called Old Church Slavonic, in the ninth century. It is retained as a liturgical language in Slavic Orthodox churches in the form of various local Church Slavonic traditions. Classification The South Slavic languages constitute a dialect continuum. Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin constitute a single dialect within this continuum. *Eastern ** Bulgarian – (ISO 639-1 code: bg; ISO 639-2 code: bul; SIL code: bul; Linguasphere: 53-AAA-hb) ** Macedonian – (ISO 639-1 code: mk; ISO 639-2(B) code: mac; IS ...

Battle Of Grahovo
Battle of Grahovo was fought on 26 August 1836 between the Ottoman Empire and Montenegro, and was a prequel to the more famous Battle of Grahovac (1858). The battle ended in Ottoman victory, and was most notable for the death of nine members of the ruling House of Petrović-Njegoš, including Joko Petrović-Njegoš, brother of the prince-bishop Petar II and Stevan Petrović-Njegoš, brother of Grand Duke Mirko. Background After the rise of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš to power in the Prince-Bishopric of Montenegro, members of Grahovo tribe, led by vojvoda Jakov Daković refused to pay haraç to the Ottoman authorities and joined the rest of Montenegrins in guerrilla warfare in Ottoman-controlled Herzegovina, expressing the desire to unite with Montenegro. In response, Ali-paša Rizvanbegović, vizier of Herzegovina, attacked Grahovo in 1836 and occupied the town.

The Grahovo Tribe ( Serbian: Грахово Племе/Grahovo Pleme) or Grahovljani (Serbian Cyrillic: Граховљани) is a historical region and tribe of Old Herzegovina in Montenegro. The Tribe was formed on Brotherhoods and other extinct tribes of Montenegro being one of the sixteen tribes of Herzegovina, along with the Riđani, Piva, Drobnjaci, Krivošije, Nikšići, Banjani, Mataruge, and others.

Grahovo Ob Bači
Grahovo ob Bači (; it, Gracova Serravalle) is a village on the Bača River in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia. Name The name of the settlement was changed from ''Grahovo'' to ''Grahovo ob Bači'' (literally, 'Grahovo on the Bača River') in 1955. The name is believed to have the same origin as Grahovo in the Municipality of Cerknica. If so, it is probably derived from the personal name ''Grah'', which is still preserved as a surname in Slovenia and is probably borrowed from the Old High German name ''Gracco''. The place name would thus mean 'Grah's (village)'. Another possible derivation is from the common noun ''*grahovišče'' 'pea field' via the contracted form ''*grahovše''. Direct derivation from the Slovene common noun ''grah'' 'pea' is unlikely because of the rarity of such names and the suffixation pattern. Church The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Koper Diocese. Other cultural heritage The ...

Church Of Saint Nikola, Grahovo
The Church of Saint Nikola (Serbian Cyrillic:Црква Светог Николе) is an Orthodox Church in the field of Grahovo founded in the medieval times of the Ottoman Empire, in the Sanjak of Herzegovina. Foundation The Church was contracted on February 16, 1499, to the Riđani tribe. It was built by the Vujačići, Bulajići and Vučetići brotherhoods. The church was ordered "on behalf of the municipality of Grahovo and the people of the surrounding places" by the Grahovo monk Lavrentije, who attended the contracting. Next to him, there were masons Radic Obradovic and Stjepko, a student of Radic Obradovic. It seems that they contracted with the famous Dubrovnik bricklayer, Matko Vlahušić, who, it seems, was the most respected master of all of them - "a bricklayer". The contract was specified in detail. From the dimensions of the church and the thickness and height of the walls to the fact that the masters will be allowed to go home eight days before Easter, with th ...
