[PAR] [TLE] Early Slavs [SEP] The early Slavs were a diverse group of tribal societies who lived during the Migration Period and Early Middle Ages (approximately the fifth to the tenth centuries) in Eastern Europe and in Central Europe and established the foundations for the Slavic nations through the Slavic states of the High Middle Ages.  The first written use of the name "Slavs" dates to the sixth century, when the Slavic tribes inhabited a large portion of Central and Eastern Europe.  By that century, native Iranian ethnic groups (the Scythians, Sarmatians, and Alans) had been absorbed by the region's Slavic population.  Over the next two centuries, the Slavs expanded southwest toward the Balkans and the Alps and northeast towards the Volga River. [PAR] [TLE] Migration Period [SEP] The Migration Period was a time of widespread migrations of peoples, mainly Germanic tribes and Huns, within or into Europe in the middle of the first millennium AD.  It has also been termed in English by German loanword Völkerwanderung and—from the Roman and Greek perspective—the Barbarian Invasions.  Many of the migrations were movements of Germanic, Hunnic, Slavic, and other peoples into the territory of the then Roman Empire with or without accompanying invasions or war.
