"Slovene is a fully developed and
functionally diverse modern South Slav
language, located spatially where the Slavic,
Romance, Germanic and Finno-Ugric language
groups meet. It is the state language of the
Republic of Slovenia and one of the official
languages of the European Union. There are
written examples of Slovene dating back
over thousand years. Throughout history the
language has contributed – as it still does
