Summary/Abstract: In my lecture I would like to present the results of the research done among the students of Slovak studies in Hungary. The research was done by empiric questionnaire method but other sociolinguistic methods such as observation, thematic or guided interviews had a role in it. The questionnaire was examined on a thirty-person-sample. In the period of the data collection i.e. between 2007 and 2009 thirty people were suitable for the criteria I laid down. The students were Hungarian citizens, ethnic Slovaks or they had Slovak roots. In my present lecture I examine the language used in everyday communication and the informants' language choice in different situations and occasions.
