Language law of Slovakia

Language law of Slovakia is primarily governed by two acts:[1]

  • The Act on the State Language of the Slovak Republic[2] (Act No. 270/1995[3]), also known as the "State Language Act".[3][4] It fixes the status and regulates the use of the Slovak language. It took force on 1 January 1996 (except article 10, which entered into force on 1 January 1997), and underwent several amendments, such as by Act No. 204/2011.[5]
  • The Act on the Use of Languages of National Minorities[6] (Act No. 184/1999[7]), also known as the "Minority Language Act".[5] Amongst other things, it stipulates that municipalities where at least 15% of the population in two consecutive censuses speak the same minority language, have the right to use their minority language in official communications with local authorities, who are required to respond in that minority language.[1]

A further Act on the Status of National Minorities, covering several aspects of education, was in preparation as of 2022.[8]
