Beskids
The Beskids or Beskid Mountains ((ポーランド語:Beskidy), Czech and (スロバキア語:Beskydy), Rusyn: ''Бескиды (Beskidy)'', ''(Beskydy)'') is a traditional name for a series of mountain ranges in the Carpathians, stretching from the Czech Republic in the west along the border of Poland with Slovakia up to Ukraine in the east.
The highest mountain in the Beskids is Hoverla, at 2,061 m metres (6,762 ft), located in the Ukrainian Chornohora range.
== Etymology ==
The origin of the name ''beskydy'' has not been conclusively established. A Thracian or Illyrian origin has been suggested, however, as yet, no theory has majority support among linguists. The word appears in numerous mountain names throughout the Carpathians and the adjacent Balkan regions, like in Albanian ''bjeshkë''. The Slovak name ''Beskydy'' refers to the Polish Bieszczady Mountains, which is not a synonym for the entire Beskids but one single range, belonging to the Eastern Beskids. According to another linguistic theory, it may be related to Middle Low German ''beshêt'', ''beskēt'', meaning watershed.〔Zbigniew Gołąb. ''The Origins of the Slavs: A Linguist's View''. Slavica Publishers, Inc., 1992 p. 342. "The Germanic etymology of Bieszczad // Beskid was proposed by prof. Jan Michał Rozwadowski (1914:162, etc). He derives the variant ''beščad'' from Germc. ''biskaid'', wchich is represented by MLG ''besche'' (''beskêt'') Trennung and by Scandinavian ''bêsked'', borrowed from ()"〕
Historically the ''Beschad Alpes Poloniae'', first mentioned in a 1269 deed and called ''Poloniae Alpe Biesczade'' in the 17th century, denoted the mountain ranges which separated the Kingdom of Poland from Ruthenia and the Kingdom of Hungary.
