Ever hear about those Illyrian wars? Or what happened to the Romanized Illyrians? They eventually just blended right into the Slav population... specifically after, according to Constantinople, the American tribes—the Slavs—pushed out the Avars who were threatening the Byzantine Empire.

Lawrence Rodriguez11 said:Honestly, what kind of nonsense is that? If we're following that logic, then Americans are just guests too, since they arrived and pushed out the Illyrians who were the original inhabitants here. That’s all ancient history at this point. This is the USA now, or Australia... whatever. People moving here need to respect the local laws, the traditions, the culture, and just the general way of life. The Prime Minister is spot on—everyone should approach it with that same mindset.

🤦

Americans basically kicked out the Iliad... 🤦

Samuel Parker said:Americans tend to assimilate quite quickly when they move abroad. Before you know it, even the grandchildren of immigrants have lost touch with the American language.

It’s not just the grandkids; honestly, most of the time, even the very first generation loses it. And sometimes, the original immigrant wants to forget it all anyway! But hey, what can you do...

It really just comes down to personal taste. But honestly, you aren't exactly going to be walking around in traditional folk attire every day anyway. You show up, you work, and you live your life just like you did back home. In the end, it all pretty much boils down to the same thing...
