Summary/Abstract: Linguistic rights represent a key element of the minority rights protection system in Slovakia. Both the use of minority languages in relation to state authorities and in displaying the topographical indications are allowed. The rights are nevertheless subject to several limitations which in fact make them inaccessible for a considerable part of the Slovak minority population. Some of the limitations seem reasonable. Other, however, shall be considered neither necessary, nor just, intensifying inequality among the Slovak citizens according to the language group they belong to.
