		Slovak grammar distinguishes between the you that means a personal acquaintance, a close friend, a trusted confidante (ty), and the you that addresses a superior, elder, authority figure, an unknown, a stranger (vy).
		The line between the two is rigorously maintained in Slovak culture; so much so, in fact, that older Slovaks have told me that they had to address their own parents as vy instead of ty all their lives, as a sign of respect.

		The Slovak language holds a central position among Slavic languages.
		It is a west Slavic language, but in the east it borders on Ukrainian and Ruthenian and, before the arrival of Magyars (Hungarians) in the Danube basin, it had direct ties with the south Slavic languages (especially Slovene), some of whose features it has retained to this day.
		For anyone interested in central European, eastern European, and Slavic studies, as well as for the casual tourist, Slovak provides an excellent starting point from which to branch off to any additional Slavic language.

	SLOVAKIA.ORG - Carpatho-Rusyn
		Rusyns are eastern Slavs, which means that their history, culture, and language are rooted in the medieval Kievan Rus' kingdom (Slovaks, by contrast, are western Slavs), although Slovaks and Rusyns have lived together on the same territory for nearly 1000 years (and share some cultural traits).
		In consequence, most villages had only a Slovak-language school and a Slovak identity and orientation were adopted by most of the Rusyn populace, and they were, in effect, de-nationalized.
		Their struggle now is to reverse tens of years of denationalization and assimilation into the dominant Slovak nationality.
