Methinks that was a typo.

EDIT: There's no such thing as South Balts, friend.
Only Eastern and Western Balts, and the Eastern Balts'd be Eastern Galindians i.e. Golyads.

Yes, but my comment was an ironic one since neither Balts nor Greeks had any genetic, cultural or tribal ties to Slavs at that time. You cant simply name something because of other stuff close to them.

Well, there is the Balto-Slavic thing and Perkunas's conflict with Velinas which occurs in Slavic mythology with Perun and Veles.

It is a nice idea, but I wouldn't use Ruthenian as a proto-russian culture, because of its confusion with the dialect and the modern language of Rusyn.

A passable general solution would be to just append 'proto-' before every such name. Protopolish, protobulgarian, protobohemian etc. for lack of a more elegant solution (like Frankish > French).

I think something like West Slavic or Lechitic or whatever works is good. The only thing I don't really like the idea of though is a magical change from West Slavic to Polish and so on depending on year. As far as I know Norse can survive as a culture if the province it is in never becomes a part of an independent Norway/Sweden/Denmark etc - so if Iceland becomes an independent Petty Kingdom in 867 and stays independent until the 1400s it will still be Norse, not Norwegian. I think a cultural division should only take place if the kingdoms divide/one or more are created separately, just like with Norse.

Some similiar stuff is being discussed here.

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?796057-Slavs-in-Charlemagne

I support the idea of single slavic culture splitted later by melting pots. Let us make some noise to attract an attention to it.

IMO, most people think about languages or tribe names instead of true culture
