Hungarians in Slovakia


You can see this decal on some glass doors of the CBA supermarket in South Slovakia. It says “We also speak Hungarian”. 😉

There is cca half million Hungarians living in Slovakia, mainly on the Southern part… not because they moved there, but because of the Treaty of Trianon the land where they and their ancestors used to live suddenly became an other country… first Czechoslovakia and later Slovakia… and I am one of them.

My grandfather’s great-great-grandparents were born in the Hungarian Kingdom.
My grandfather’s grandparents were born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
My grandfather’s parents and him were born in the first Czechoslovak Republic.
My parents and I were born in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
My younger cousines were born in Slovakia. And yet we all lived in the same town or village, and our mother language is/was Hungarian. 😉
