The '''Chali''', a Latinized form of the '''Khaloi''' or '''Chaloi''' of [[Ptolemy]]'s Greek, were a [[Germanic peoples|Germanic tribe]] residing in [[Jutland]]. We hear no more about the Chali as such in history, but their name can probably be connected with the [[Chalusus]] river (ibid.), tentatively identified as the [[Trave]]. The modern name comes from the Slavs at the mouth of the river (mediaeval Trabena), as [[Charlemagne]] for a time encouraged them to settle in the region. The upper river must have remained in the lands of the Chali. |

Speculating further, one might connect the name with Halland in Sweden (as well as the [[Hilleviones]]), which was originally Danish. From a political point of view, Scandinavia became defined by its resistance to the Slavic policies of Charlemagne, who was inviting Slavs to populate lands in [[Schleswig-Holstein]] left vacant by the migrations to Britain. A southern border was set by treaty in the early 9th century; presumably, the Chali were north of it. |

Halland remained unquestionably Danish until the 11th century. By then there were language differences between the Danes and Swedes. Halland spoke Danish, but it became an object of contention. Many long years later the northern border of Denmark was finally established by treaty in 1645. Halland was to be Swedish; however, it speaks its own dialect, based on its ancient Danish background. |

One might conclude therefore to a possible core Danish population titled *Hal- or *Hil-, located in Jutland, the islands, and southern Sweden. If that is true, then the name has a somewhat amorphous referent, meaning some or all of a population also possessing other names and not necessarily politically or ethnically united, except when the region became early Denmark. |

The Chali, the Latinized form of Khaloi or Chaloi (Χάλοι), were identified by Ptolemy in his Geography as a Germanic tribe in Jutland.[1] Nearly all of the Germanic tribes identified by Ptolemy have left traces of their existence beyond their mention in Geography, such as through medieval traditions or place names, however, no such traces have been identified for the Chali.[2]
