Way back in 2022, I had this exchange with Nigel Robinson, who wrote,
"Alexis, I usually comment as Nigli, but I'm on a shared tablet so I have a different handle. I'm from New Zealand originally but have spent most of my adult life in Europe, mostly in the Czech Republic and more recently in Hamburg, Germany.In passing, I am interested to note you used Gottwaldov for what's now Zlin."
He added when I asked,
"Duchy of Vlachia sounds like a reasonable name. I know it as Valašsko, which is the current Czech name. The people there speak with a really sing-song dialect."
Well, Nigel, here's Zlin at last.
