Carniola
Traditional region of Slovenia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carniola (Slovene: Kranjska; Slovene pronunciation: [ˈkɾàːnska],[1] German: Krain; Italian: Carniola; Hungarian: Krajna) is a historical region that comprised parts of present-day Slovenia. Although as a whole it does not exist anymore, Slovenes living within the former borders of the region still tend to identify with its traditional parts Upper Carniola, Lower Carniola (with the sub-part of White Carniola), and to a lesser degree with Inner Carniola. In 1991, 47% of the population of Slovenia lived within the borders of the former Duchy of Carniola.
