Re: European cities
The closest to Poland I've seen is when I called a Pole from the Volkermord hub so he could pronounce Slawa. I was trying to prove to a friend that it's not pronounced "Slava," but it's pronounced "swava" with a soft w. Turns out I was right.
Oh yeah, and my Honor and Hools Attack CDs.Quote:

Re: European cities
Toledo (Cathedral) : about Islam
Something that really impressed me when I saw it. I was said that it was the chains of the Christian slaves free by Spanish when (re)conquering Toledo.

Re: European cities
Duchemin, I'll try to confirm that point.
However, you must realize that Toledo is a city where there exist many legends, and this may well be one. The Christian population living under Islam were the Mossarabs, and they lived under a system known as dhimmitude by which they were allowed to practice their religion in conditions of inferiority and paying a special religious tax or tribute (the dhimmi) to Islam. Mossarabs had their own "comes" (count) which represented them before the Islamic authorities, and the Mossarabs of Toledo helped to the Christian conquest of the city with their rebellion.
