Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the relations between language, culture and identity in the environment of ethnic minorities on the example of Lowland Slovaks – Slovak communities existing in Hungary, Serbia, Romania and Croatia. The diversity of their language, culture and identity, which can be seen today, is the result of their (somewhere more than historical) coexistence with national majority and other minorities. This situation and perspectives are not just results of the past (especially post-Ottoman and national-emancipation periods), but mainly results of the multinational Europe from the second half of the 20th century and increasingly more of the euro-unionization and globalization.
