Slovenian Alphabet has twenty-five letters, it excludes the
letters Q, W, X, Y which is part of the english alphabet, but
includes letters such as c ch sound as in cherry,
s sh as in shoe, and
z ge as in garage.
- The Slovenian language is phonetic, with very few exceptions, each letter has
only one sound.
-
- This makes reading and writing much easier than other languages.
- Franc Preseren, scholar writer , whose
skills and expertise gave us the written word and is known among Slovenians as the father of our
language.
Here are just a few examples of our
language.

This
is but a smattering of the language,
- as it is written
so it is spoken.
- I shall be altering
the various expressions used, and at a later stage shall
also provide a wav file with the
spoken word making it easier to express and
understand.
