COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course may be eligible for CEUs*

Don’t be fooled by how similar the name of this language looks to “Slovak”. While they are both Slavic languages, they are quite mutually unintelligible. Whereas both languages derive the “Slov” in their names from “Slav”, Slovenian, or Slovene, is considered to be a South Slavic language along with languages such as Croatian, Serbian, Bulgarian and Macedonian.

Slovene, also known as the ‘language for lovebirds’, is the official language of Slovenia, spoken by over 2.5 million speakers in the world. Slovene is one of the oldest written Slavic languages that continue to exist today. It is a south Slavic language similar to Croatian, Serbian and Bulgarian. Despite facing many hardships under rule by different countries and kingdoms, the language risked almost eradication. Instead in such difficult times, it held the entire nation together in unity. Slovenian language is the pride of the natives and now serves as one of the 24 official languages of the European Union. 

The reason why Slovenian is known as the ‘language of lovebirds’ is because of its grammar structure which is dual rather than the common regular plural forms of other languages.

Origins: 

Slovenian language can be traced back to Old Church Slavonic and contains around 46 dialects. The earliest record of Slovenian can be traced to the Reformation when the Bible was translated to Slavic by Protestants.
