Tysyatski == En tusen man edit

The word is direct loan from Swedish language (En) Tusental man in English (One) Thousand number of men. Again here is shown when Russian writer tries to explane it (wrongly) to Greek or Deutsch languages. An reminiscent of the old multi ethnic Novgorod soldiers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.126.143 (talk) 16:46, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, anonymous user! You should read the intro to the article more carefully. It says "Tysyatsky (tysiatsky, Russian: тысяцкий; sometimes translated "dux" or "Heerzog" but more correctly meaning "thousandman" - sometimes translated into the Greek "chilliarch") was a military leader in Ancient Rus, who commanded a people's volunteer army called тысяча (tysyacha, or a thousand)". It doesn't say anything about the word Tysyatsky coming from German or Greek language. KNewman (talk) 20:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

TysyatskyTysiatskiiWP:COMMONNAME: the most common form in English-language reliable sources[1] (corresponds to romanization by the modified Library of Congress system widely used in academic and popular-academic literature).  —Michael Z. 23:02, 27 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Since the 1970s, the proposed spelling comprises 50% to 100% of the top two usages.[2]  —Michael Z. 04:37, 28 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
