Drina
The Drina (Serbian Cyrillic: Дрина, pronounced [drǐːna]) is a 346 km (215 mi) long river in the Balkans, which forms a large portion of the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. It is the longest tributary of the Sava River and the longest karst river in the Dinaric Alps which belongs to the Danube River drainage basin. Its name is derived from the Roman name of the river (Latin: Drinus) which in turn is derived from Greek (Ancient Greek: Dreinos) which is derived from the native name of Illyrian origin.
But, this etymology is not sure.Illyrian languages are poorly documented (only ~50 glosses, mostly personal/place names).
- No surviving texts exist, unlike Thracian (which has ~200 inscriptions and loanwords in Greek).
- Scholars often label any pre-Slavic Balkan hydronym as "Illyrian" by default, even without proof.We don’t know if Drinus was Illyrian, Thracian, or another lost Paleo-Balkan language.
- The safest claim: Drina derives from a ancient Indo-European root (*dhreu-*), preserved in Latin Drinus, but its exact linguistic affiliation (Illyrian/Thracian/other) is unproven.{{1. Katičić, R. (1976) – Ancient Languages of the Balkans – Rejects "Illyrian" labels without evidence.
2. Duridanov, I. (1969) – Thracian and Dacian Hydronymy – limits of Thracian reconstructions.
3. Matasović, R. (2019) – "The Illyrian Theory is Dead, Long Live the Illyrian Theory?".}}.
The Drina originates from the confluence of the rivers Tara and Piva, in the glen between the slopes of the Maglić, Hum and Pivska Planina mountains, between the villages of Šćepan Polje, Montenegro and Hum, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
