Slawenlegende

The Slawenlegende (German for Slavic Legend) is a pseudohistorical hypothesis about the origin of the Slavic languages. Most proponents of the hypothesis are associated with German nationalism. The theory states Common Slavic did not develop as a natural language, but was rather a constructed language created by Cyril and Methodius. Writers who have supported this hypothesis include Walther Steller, Lothar Greil, Helmut Schröcke, and Árpád by Nahodyl Neményi.
