I tend to use "Slvanjec" and "Slevan" somewhat indiscriminately,
mostly out of fear that ['sl=van_jEts] will get mispronounced.
In German it is "Schlewanisch", in French "Slévanois" and in
Hungarian "Szelvanyec"! ;)



Heh...  have I ever even posted the native name of Jovian?
It's probably |Joevana| [ja'va:n], though it could also be
|Joeva| [jAjv], from Latin (lingua) iovia or |Joeve| [jAjv]
from (lingua) iovis.

Go with [ja'va:n]!
("Yavan" means 'Greece' in Hebrew)
