A short history of the Slovak language
Slovak is spoken by around 5.5 million people in Slovakia, which is close to the Austrian border. The capital city is Bratislava. It is an Indo-European language, related to Czech, Polish and Serbian. You will also hear it spoken in Poland, Romania, the Ukraine, America, Canada and Hungary.
The Slavic language came about in the 10th century and was the language of present day Hungary, Slavonia and Slovenia. Latin was used for official and religious purposes until the 14th century, when written Czech began to be used. This continued into the 15th and 16th centuries. The Slovak dialect emerged during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The first adventure novel was printed in 1783 and in 1787, a Slovak standard was used in writings by the Catholics, whilst the Protestants continued to use Czech. Slovak finally became an official language in 1920, after the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918.
Finally, in 1993 Czechoslovakia was split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia and Slovak became the official language of Slovakia. The two languages are extremely close and are understood by each other.
