Summary/Abstract: Answers of 200 young people (Slovaks) from Hungary and from nationally mixed area of Slovakia on the 10 values list (personal values, social values and ethnic values) offered opportunity to analyze the preference of the mother tongue in these two groups of respondents. The main difference between these groups was manifested in the ethnic values section (mother tongue, nationality) which are preferred more in the case of members of the ethnic minority (Slovaks in Hungary). Despite the fact, between the most preferred items in both groups are values „health“, „family“, and „freedom“.
