Are the Bavarians related to the Turks?
Bavarians just may have some Turkish blood dating back to the Ottoman Empire and the Sobieski period in Polish history round about the time that the Turks were on their way to conquering most of Central Europe until the Poles fended them off (..and heroically too, I must say). They are related to the Austrians, not the Poles…
To my certain knowledge, Bavarians are not related to any Slavic peoples! Now if you had Cashubian blood and are or were descended from Sorbian/Wendish speakers, that’s another story. They are most definitely of the West Slavic tribe.
