Choratice

Choratice is a historical Latinized place name. It refers to a settlement or territory, likely of Slavic origin, in what is now central Europe. Its precise location and political boundaries are debated by historians and archaeologists. It is primarily known from medieval historical texts, particularly those referencing early Slavic tribal organization and interactions with neighboring Germanic and other groups. These texts often use "Choratice" to denote a specific area inhabited by a tribe or group of people referred to as Chorvati or a similar variant, which is believed to be an early form of the name "Croat." The significance of Choratice lies in its potential connection to the origins and early migrations of the Croats and other Slavic peoples. Further historical and archaeological research is needed to fully understand the nature and extent of Choratice.
