Paradoxy a (ne)paradoxy alebo o komunite bulharských Slovákov
Paradoxes and (non)paradoxes: The community of the Bulgarian Slovaks

Summary/Abstract: Attempts to study other communities settled in the Bulgarian ethnic territory, whether in the past or only recently, are rather sporadic. This study deals with specific aspects of identity of a small but unique community living in this territory. Although Slovak was the language of communication in the domestic sphere, it gradually incorporated elements of Bulgarian into its structures. However, it has always retained its function, is still alive and used in everyday interactions. Moreover, several of its unique features have been preserved by the re-emigrants. In the past, an important role was also played by school, sports clubs, theatre groups and other societies. Nowadays, the Slovak ethnic community in Bulgaria can be referred to as the dispersed diaspora.
