About Slovenian

Slovenian, known as slovenščina, is the official language of Slovenia and is also spoken in parts of Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary. As a South Slavic language, it is most similar to Serbian and Croatian. Slovenian has many different dialects - some estimate there are up to 46 - but Standard Slovene is the national language. As with other Slavic languages, Slovenian has no individual word for ‘the’, so 'jabolko' may mean either ‘an apple’ or ‘the apple’.
