10+ Surprising Facts About Slovenia 

What? Seriously? So many Slovenians in Ohio, I never would have guessed. Do you speak Slovenian?

Jen Mishelin No :( unfortunately Slovenian school didn’t really teach us fluent Slovenian. It was more about the culture and history. I know how to read Slovenian (then again, it’s really not that hard because it’s phonetic lol) and quite a few words but definitely not enough to understand a conversation in Slovenian. I’d definitely love to take a more serious class when I’m not swimming in college work haha

Kako kaj

how are we southern we are literely the center of all europe

tjašika ma ja, sej to

First, we are not the "literal centre" by any measure. Second if you ask other countries we are EASTERN europe. Central europe is a made up concept by us and the Czech because we very desperately wanted to "escape" the fact that we are eastern europe. But we cant escape it. If you ask germans they wont tell you they are "central europe" but western europe and they will be correct. And the geographical center is in Germany. So stop being such bitches (hlapci) grow a pair and admit we are slavs, balkans and eastern europe.

Mr BuzzKill oh yeah yeah

yeah but the avarege slovenian person has 43% of the r1a (slavic/east european) y-chromosome genpool and only 17% of the r1b (germanic) y-chromosome in his genpool. we are not purely slavic but defenetley more slavic than germanic.

not purely slavic, Slovenians are mixed, some celtic genes, some slavic, roman, teutons (germanic) and some jewish (phoenicians). That's why some slovenians have blond hair and blue eyes and some other have dark hair and dark eyes, some have red hair etc. and many are just a mix of those.

@Anze Koselj Ne samo to, politiki iz Avstrije, Nemčije, Italije, ki pridejo v Slovenjijo na obisk, bi se morali še naslednjih 100 pokloniti pred spomenikom žrtev 2. Svetovne vojne. Še v srednjem veku je bilo večinsko slovenska cela današnja avstrijska Koroška i cela vzhodna Avstrija. Avstrijci, ki niso narod so se pritepli iz Bavarske, kot trgovci. Naprimer ime Gradec avstrijski Gradz, so dali ime staro slovenci ki so poseljevali celi vzhodni del Avstrije, visoko do hribovja v osrednji Avstriji. To se v Sloveniji mslo govori in Slovenci tega ne vemo, ker imamo politike ki samo razdirjo med ljudmi.

Quick Fix, You forgot to record that in our forests there are on average lives between 500 and 700 bears (currently around 500), between 50 and 73 wolves, and 20 lynx (14 new will bring this year). All this on such a small surface. In most European countries, don't live that much number of these beasts (animals), if they even have any of them at all. Slovenes live with nature! At least most.

Right! And, Slovenians consider them self culturally as middle European To clarify my comment; of course Slovenians are slavic (language and a huge part of their culture), but they wouldn't see them selfs as east or south Europeans. A big part of Slovenian culture is more part of middle/central Europes culture, take a walk in Ljubljana and look at the architecture to see what I mean. Also the mindeset that Slovenia is part of middle Europe was emphasized after the independence of Slovenia to distance themselves from Belgrade. Orientationwise Slovenia wanted to be "more like western/central Europe" so to speak, neighbors like Italy or Austria became mor important in that period.

@@Bluntzngreschtl our culture is slavic but under the 1000 year long German rule it did become germanized not the south part which is slovenia but the north part which is today under austria known as carinthia

In fact, in German language there are more slovene/slavic words then the other way around ...

Well Slovenians are Slavs but becouse of Austria and Germany we've strong germanic routs:) Also it depends in which part of Slovenia you are, in Styria(Slovenian) or Carinthia a lot of the words are german and some people even say "Serbus"(Its like basically slovenian version of servus) . But if you go to Ljubljana there is a lot less german words

Examine surnames. Then bark.

Ohhhh,it's terrible!!! I moved to Slovenia because of my husband and our kids, I started to study Slovenian, I speak 4 languages, but Slovenian languages made me depressed... so many exceptions, no matter how much I try, every time I speak I make a mistake, I decided to give up, I really dislike their language :(

damn, yall are actually learning it. As a Slovenian i feel proud

I mean if youve grown up in Slovenija theme It isnt hard ;-; Bruh im literaly ten and im already learning german ;-;

@ultra_SANS The unbeatet I mean, it is hard, but it really depends on the person if it's hard for them or not, by it being their native language, the only hard part I'd say about it, is the mess about singular and plural. Also, if you wanna speak formal, you have to know how to form sentences perfectly. I use more of a "home" Type of talk, which annoys every teacher haha. But I really don't like Slovenia, I'm planning to move abroad as soon as I can, cause I don't wanna live here. Sure, the nature is really pretty but like, I'm definitely a city person (I grew up in one) so I wanna move to a bigger city. I love to admire nature, but wouldn't live just in the middle no where with grass everywhere mountains in the back, woods and a lake. Yeah, sounds pretty but not my type of life style

Wait until you start seeing just how many different dialects are spoken in Slovenia. If it makes you feel any better, even we Slovenes have sometimes hard time understanding each other. :-)

@Miki Mouse actually it wasnt consider that not even close. Western europe was considered western as they aligned themselves with US in times of cold war. The estern block belong to USSR. Yugoslavia however did not align themselves with any of the two block. Even more, Tito lead the effort and successfully created what became known as the Non-aligned movement (NGM ) or 3rd block, a unity of countries all over the world that didnt chose a side in the cold war. Some of the other countries in this block included India and Egypt. The movement still exists today encompassing almost half of UN nations.

Shiny umbreon Germanic does not equate to national socialist, you idiot. Are you just going to erase a millennium of our own history because of a few decades of rule under some communist balkanegroe? The fact is, we are as Slavic as we are Germanic.

@@mattbarbarich3295 Slovenia is NOT an Alpine country. Only 20-25% of the territory is covered in Alps, and the largest city located inside the Alpines is Jesenice, which is only 11th countrywide. Calling is Alpine is explicit deception

It is true that we are in central europe mostly because of our geographical location.

No no no, in very begining slavic moving in south Europe, but in middle ages and later in time of "Avstro - Ogrska" we were be on the side of germans.. And they moved here a LOT. Soooo if we summarize in beginig of our long distance our ancestors are realy slavic because they moved to south Europe and some of them stayed in our land but later we are definitely are more germans i think.

@@KongSunWu it's rather simple actually, while we do have the same religion, we speak very different language.

Slovenia is more and more atheistic anyway. We don't give to much on religion nowadays.

Could it be because "Slovinci" were in fact "Slovenci", they just said it in their dialect? Slovenian is the most dialectally diverse language in the world; as an example of how much it can change from village to village, in my hometown for example we call ourselves "Slovajncə". We're taught in schools that in the 19th century there was German poet, Ljudevit Gaj, who convinced the Slovene people they will be speaking German if they don't start speaking Serbian, because there just aren't enough Slovenes and their heritage and identity would be lost to the German tide. We're taught that his efforts are what made change your identity.
