Slovene language

 or Slovenian language

South Slavic language spoken by more than 2.2 million people in Slovenia, in adjacent parts of Italy, Austria, and Hungary, and in small enclaves outside Europe. The oldest Slavic text in the Latin alphabet, the Freising Fragments (c. 1000), are written in a very early form of Slovene; the language is not attested again until the 16th century, when Lutheran reformers translated the Bible into Slovene. The language has a remarkable degree of dialect diversity considering the size of its speech area, probably enhanced by the country's Alpine geography and long period of domination by non-Slovene-speaking rulers.
