Distribution area

The Cserpnags come from Szigetköz. They claim that they once inhabited the entire area of ​​the Western and Central Szigetköz. There is no information about the reason why they ended up in Szigetköz. However, they never wanted to leave it: they didn't even use ships.

Culture

The Cserpangs originally believed in ancient religions. They were a real warrior nation, they had many weapons. They can also be considered as a mixture of Celtic and Slavic peoples. Their national weapon was the epokos, almost every Cserpang noble had his own collection of epokos. In their people, no one was born privileged, only those who earned the title of nobility (usually through fighting or heroic deeds.) In this ethnic group, these pigs played a very important role, the Cherpangs associate the Mangalica species with themselves. Pigs were not only respected but also used: according to legends, they rode these animals instead of horses. The frequent consumption of bird meat was integrated into their culture, while they were traveling they were often able to catch birds. Their national plant is Dandelion, which is mainly used for seasoning. Many Cserpang still keep the ancient traditions.
