Concerning living tribes, Slavic tribes from time to time in a much more united union - tribal association , or tribal unions.
existed for a bit, such alliances break up, and instead of them subsequently formed new ones. (Actually, the great union of Slavic tribes were Veneti, and anti and sklavyny.)
According to researchers, they consisted of smaller alliances of tribes.
Spell East tribal unions, which survived until the time of formation of the state, kept chronicle "The Tale of Bygone Years» .

example, in Ukraine s, for the annals, lived seven tribal associations: Meadow , Drevlyane, Volhynians, Croats, Ukichi, Tyvertsi and Northerners .

Please note , which along with the name « Volhynians » chronicler still takes two - Dulebs and Buzhans . Most modern scholars believe that all three names apply to one tribal alliance, while "Dulebs" - the oldest name, and the second two have later.

northeast the clearing on the left tributary of the Dnieper Northerners lived .
southern boundary of land along the East-Dniester tribes occupied catch and Tyvertsi .
Prykarpatya Croats lived .

adding evidence of the chronicles of archaeological findings, the researchers concluded that the tribal alliances Dulibs, Derevlyany, Polyan Siveryany, Croats, and catch Tyvertsi long had close relations since they were similar in language, customs, had a common-sklavyno antske origin and differed on these signs from the neighboring northwest and north-eastern tribes of the East. So named seven tribal associations can be considered direct ancestors of the Ukrainian, and their language & ndash ; preUkrainian .
