This paper addresses the political factors in Slovak language issues.The author shows how sensitive language demands are during the early phases of state-building, using the example of the disputes between the Slovak leadership and the Hungarian minority over language status. Despite the fact that the practical issue of minority language use has not been solved by legislation, the author remains positive over inter-ethnic relations and democracy in Slovakia, as well as for Slovak-Hungarian relations in general.
