Summary/Abstract: In this article, I would like to share the latest findings on the family and public language use of Hungarians in Slovakia, as well as some of their opinions on language use. The source of these is the part of the interdisciplinary demography, sociological and political science research entitled „Key Factors of the Existence of Hungarians in Slovakia” on the use of language, which was carried out under the auspices of the Department of Sociological and Demographic Research of the Forum Institute for Minority Studies between 13 and 31 October 2025. The questionnaire survey was conducted among the population of Slovakia over the age of 18 with Hungarian ties, with a personal questionnaire conducted by a specialized agency. The sample, which is representative according to gender, age, education and the distribution of the Hungarian population by districts, was made up of 1010 people. Of these, 919, i.e. 91.1% of the sample, declared themselves to be of Hungarian nationality. In the following, I will start from their answers.
