Slovenian is an Indo-European language and together with Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin it belongs to the South Slavic languages. Slovenian was first spoken by Slavs, who in the 6th century had already started to settle in the area of present-day Slovenia and its neighbours – North West Italy, Southern Hungary, and Austria. The first Slovenian – and also the first Slavic – documents date back to the 10th century.

Slovenian – a parade of accents and dialects
Did you know that for native Slovenians written Slovenian is easier than its spoken version? The reasons for this are the homonyms, which are very frequent in Slovenian. Some words may sound the same, but their meaning is completely different. It’s caused by variable stress, which is usually placed at the end of the word. Also, some vowels are silent in spoken communication.
Even though Slovenia is a small country, there are 7 dialects in use and they’re divided into 7 groups. From all of the Slavic languages, Slovenian has the biggest number of dialects – 46.
The reason for this diversity is the settlement pattern of the past. Originally, there were four language groups in Slovenia – Slavic, Romance, Germanic, and Finno-Ugric. Every region had a specific climate, forest cover or valleys. Even today, Slovenia is known for its natural and cultural diversity. Also, it’s not far to travel from the seaside to an area with an alpine climate. However, in the past, these specifics greatly reduced contact between people and consequently, the languages of these regions have also become peculiar when it comes to pronunciation and grammar. Some dialects are incomprehensible to people from other regions.
The oldest of all Slavic languages
Slovenian is the official language of Slovenia. As a minority language, it is used in Italy, Hungary, and Austria, but also in the U.S., Argentina, and Australia. It uses the Latin alphabet with 25 letters.
