Sample of Slovenian
Not to be confused with Slovak, Standard Slovene is the national language of Slovenia that evolved from the Central Slovene dialects in the 18th century and consolidated itself through the last two hundred years. There are said to be 48 dialects of Slovene. Word order is very flexible, often adjusted for emphasis or stylistic reasons.
A literary body of work written in Slovene was created in the 16th century thanks to the works of activists Primož Trubar, Adam Bohorič and Jurij Dalmatin. During the period when Slovenia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, German was the language of the elite while Slovene was the language of the common people. Slovenia became part of the Republic of Yugoslavia after the Second World War until 1991 when the country gained indpendence.
