Slovak, a West Slavic language, is spoken by about 5 million native speakers, primarily in Slovakia and parts of the Czech Republic, Serbia, and Hungary. It uses the Latin alphabet with diacritics like "á," "č," "ľ," and "ô." Known for its melodic intonation and clear pronunciation, Slovak grammar features six cases for nouns, three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, neuter), and verb conjugations that vary by tense, mood, and person. Its vocabulary derives from Old Slavic, with influences from Czech, German, Hungarian, and Latin. As Slovakia’s official language, Slovak is central to its culture, literature, and national identity, with significant mutual intelligibility with Czech due to their shared history.
