- An Era of Englightenment
-
- The Slovenian Alphabet has twenty-five letters, it excludes the
letters Q, W, X, Y which is part of the english alphabet, but
includes letters such as c ch sound as in cherry, s sh as in shoe, and z ge as in garage.
- The Slovenian language is phonetic, with very few exceptions, each letter has
only one sound. This makes reading and writing much easier than other languages.
Franc Preseren, scholar writer , whose
skills and expertise gave us the written word and is known among Slovenians as the fatherr of our
language.
Here are just a few examples of our
language.

- This is but a smattering of the
language, as it is spoken so it is written. I shall be altering the various expressions
used, and at a later stage shall also provide a wav file with the spoken word
making it easier to express and understand.
