Slavosphere

Collection of Slavophone countries. Equinox ◑ 13:07, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I found a single use on Wired with a slightly different meaning. – Einstein2 (talk) 18:30, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

It is a word, but I don't see it in the usual places that I look for words. I have to go to the wider Internet. Besides the podcast, I see instances at Twitter (just a single tweet), fandom.com, scottishreviewofbooks.org (appearing in quotes), vice.com, rbth.com, a nationstates.net poll, and prospectmagazine.co.uk (lower case variant). -Mike (talk) 18:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

It's more like an instance of -sphere as a productive suffix, I think—though I take the expected definition to be more on the lines of Sinosphere's looser "countries and regions influenced by". You can also find scattered usages of terms like "Japanosphere", "Hungarosphere" etc. Might still be enough for verification (you can find a dozen or two more tweets incidentally with a general rather than hashtag-specific search, cut off before the podcast started—use the keywords "Slavosphere" until:2019-10-01).
