Carinthians

Carinthians can refer to two terms:

• Carinthians (Kranjci) are an ethnic group considered as part of the Slovene nation. Their name is purely geographical, derived from the Austrian and Slovene province of Carinthia (Koroška) and were involved in many migrations during the rule of the Habsburgs. The Lika region includes many important Carinthian settlements such as Slunj, Tisovac, Kuterevo, Donji Kosinj, Gornji Kosinj, Bakovac, Saborski etc.

• Carinthians (Slovene Korošci) are residents of Carinthia (in Slovene region Carinthia and also on the other side of the border in Austrian federal state Austrian Carinthia). This term might also refer to inhabitants of the first Slovene state in the 7th century, also called Karantanians (Karantanci).

It can also be a misspelling of Corinthians.
