 Clinton Goveas :: Wikipedia Reference
Slovak (slovenčina, slovenský jazyk) is an Indo-European language belonging to the West Slavic languages (together with Czech, Polish and Sorbian).
Word order in Slovak is relatively free (unlike in English or French), since the strong inflection of words enables the identification of the specific role of a word within the sentence (subject, object, predicate, etc.) regardless of its placement.
Slovak is most apparently related to Czech in written form (because the Slovak literary language spelling was inspired by Czech spelling), but differs from it both phonetically and grammatically.

 Slovak declension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The (syntactic) vocative case (V) is not morphologically marked anymore in modern Slovak (unlike in modern Czech).
There is a dispute among some Slovak linguists whether to include vocative into grammar categories but with declension (mostly) equal to the nominative, or to unify it with nominative case category.
Slovak schools have been teaching for at least 30 years that there is no grammar category of vocative anymore in use, and since 1990 they are not mentioning vocative at all.
