The Danube River tourist area covers the territory of Hungary and Slovakia. As a result, visitors who come here can get to know the beauty of both languages.
Following the historical events of the past, in the southern areas of Slovakia, bordering Hungary, including the Nitra and Nagyszombati districts, the proportion of the Hungarian community is over 20% of the total population. According to the latest census data (2021), 53.7% of the population of Northern Komárom and 64% of the population of Párkány declared themselves Hungarian. At the same time, Slovaks are the third most populous national minority group in Hungary. One of their most significant settlement areas is located between Esztergom and Budapest, in the Pilis Mountains. When visiting the Hungarian villages of the Danube region, the name of the settlement is indicated in German on one or the other border. We can be sure that there we will meet people of Swabian descent who respect tradition and preserve their native language and culture.
The most frequently spoken foreign languages in Slovakia are English and German. However, knowledge of French, Spanish, Italian and Russian is less common. Hungarian is also often spoken in the southern part of Slovakia. You will find the basic phrases in the Slovak language in the abbreviated dictionary.
