Slovene is a South Slavic language, closely related to Serbian and Croatian, more distantly related to Polish and Russian. The alphabet is based on the Roman alphabet. There are no letters "q" "w" "x" or "y". Slovene has three letters not found in English: c, s, and z, with a "check" on them, pronounced "ch," "sh," and "zh." Since your browser probably isn't configured to read these letters, in this website they are indicated as an apostrophe after the letter to indicate the "check" that should have been sitting on top of the letter. Consonants are generally pronounced as you would expect, with a few minor exceptions:

  • "c" is pronounced like "ts."
  • "r" is rolled, and may function as a vowel.
  • "h" is always pronounced, aspirated a bit if necessary to make it audible.
  • "l" and "v" at the end of syllables or before consonants usually sound like "w." Example: "Prav" ("right") rhymes with the English word "now."

Vowels are pronounced as you would expect for any (non-English) European language, and can be long, sort, or somewhere in between. You'll just have to listen. You'll also have to listen to find our what syllable to accent a word on.

Here are some handy phrases you may not find in your Slovene phrase book, to help you if you meet a guy who doesn't speak English.
