About Slovak

Slovak is the official language of the Slovak Republic. uTalk helps you learn Standard Slovak which is used in government, education and the media. It’s broadly based on the dialect spoken in Central Slovakia. Other major dialects are the ones spoken in Western and in Eastern Slovakia but all three are understandable by speakers of the others. Knowing Slovak will help you understand some Czech, Polish and other neighbouring Slavic languages.

Fun facts — Slovak

  • There is a Slovak phrase, 'Koľko jazykov vieš, toľko krát si človekom', which means the more languages you speak, the more of a person you are.
  • The similar sounding names of Slovakia and Slovenia have led to much confusion over the years. Staff at the embassies of both countries now meet up once a month to exchange wrongly-addressed mail.
  • The Slovak for ‘ham and eggs’ is hemendex.
