Language Information
Slovenian or Slovene is a South Slavic language spoken by about 2.5 million people mainly in Slovenia, and also in Italy, particularly in Friuli Venezia Giulia; in Austria especially in Carinthia and Styria; in Vas in Hungary, and and also in Croatia. Slovenian is closely related to Croatian and Serbian, particularly to the Kajkavian and Chakavian dialects, and is in fact more or less mutually intelligible with Kajkavian Croatian dialects but it is not very closed to BCS (Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian). It is said Slovenian speakers could more easily understand BCS than BCS speakers understand Slovenian.
This language is not currently taught at IU. We do have some limited to IU students/staff only material that will move here eventually. See below for more information.
