Genetics
As for the genetic makeup of Croats, this field of investigation is only at the beginning (more extensive research in the future etc.). Be as it may, here are relevant linx, one in English and other in Croatian:

- Ah well, what I heard on TV wasn't too far off -- the table in the first document shows that it is indeed the Poles and Ukrainians (along with Macedonians which weren't mentioned) that have the E7 haplotype most often among the Slavs, other than the Croats. But yeah, it's probably not a particularly useful data point as the Saami and the Germans also seem to have it even more. --Shallot 00:09, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Croats / Slavs
That is old propaganda that croats would be slavs. This is taken for granted just because they once happened to be part of the union called Yugoslavia. Recent studies start to show that croats are not indeed slavs. They settled in the area long before the slavs even came to the balkans. So the only thing slavic about the croats is their language. Please note that croats and serbs are not of the same origin. Anyone can see that the appearance of these two people are different with the serbs being a lot darker for example.
I refuse to see such lies being presented to the people when modern day scientists are certain croats are not of slav origin.
The nazis did not see the croats as slavs either, that is wrong information. My grandfather fought for the ustashe during ww2 and came in contact with high ranking germans and he rejects this information as being false.
- Please provide a few references. (I trust we don't have to explain how "a relative of mine said so" doesn't say much.) --Joy [shallot] 23:11, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Pronunciation
It's pronounced 'Cro-at', right? -Litefantastic 16:50, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Yes...? Possibly 'Cro-ət', although the distinction seems trivial to me. --Joy [shallot] 17:55, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. It looked like it was supposed to rhyme with 'boat'; I wasn't sure. -Litefantastic 19:21, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- 'Croat' rhymes with 'boat'??? Nooo, it's more like 'cro-ət'. I am one. --Phraine

Croats in Russia
- Autochthonous Croat minorities exist in [...] Russia.
Someone added this, but I don't see how it's true. Removing until verified. They may exist as a minority but are they really autochthonous? --Joy [shallot] 09:19, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
