27th April - Day of Uprising Against Occupation

Today Slovenia remembers the establishment of the Liberation Front of the Slovene Nation (Osvobodilna Fronta Slovenskega Naroda). Its purpose was to organize armed resistance against Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy until the final liberation of the Slovene nation, including the Slovenes of Carinthia and the Littoral. They also promoted Yugoslav solidarity and unity in the struggle against imperialism and capitalism.

The Liberation Front was more than just a military organization, it was a political and cultural movement that laid the foundation for the Slovene state after the war. In 1944 the front reorganized itself into the Slovene National Liberation Committee, which later appointed the second Slovene government and declared the formation of the People's Republic of Slovenia/Socialist Republic of Slovenia. The Liberation Committee was dissolved in 1946 after the election of the Constituent Assembly of the People's Republic of Slovenia.

Writing system and pronunciation

These are the letters that make up the alphabet: a b c č d e f g h i j k l m n o p r s š t u v z ž.

The orthography is a combination of phonetic and etymological principles, with the latter being more prominent. For this reason, the same letter is not always read in the same way.

Stress can be on any syllable. Words stressed on different syllables often have different meanings.

Grammar

Nouns have three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), three numbers (singular, dual, and plural), and six cases (nominative, accusative, genitive dative, locative, instrumental). They can also be animate or inanimate.

Pronouns use endings from noun and adjective declensions. Definiteness is marked only in adjectives.

Verbs are conjugated for tense, mood (conditional, imperative, and indicative), aspect, person, and number. There are many irregular verbs.

Dialects

There are eight dialect groups: Upper Carniolan, Lower Carniolan, Styrian, Pannonian, Carinthian, Littoral, Rovte, and Mixed Kočevje.

Lower Carniolan can be further subdivided into Lower Carniolan, North White Carniolan, South White Carniolan, and Kostel. Styrian comprises Central Savinja, Upper Savinja, Central Styrian, South Pohorje, Kozje-Bizeljsko, and Lower Sava Valley. The Pannonian group includes Prekmurje, Slovenian Hills, Prlekija, and Haloze. Carinthian is made up by North Pohorje-Remšnik, Mežica, Jaun Valley, Ebriach, Rosen Valley, and Gail Valley. Littoral Slovene includes Resia, Soča, Torre Valley, Natisone Valley, Brda, Karst, Istrian, Inner Carniolan, and Čičarija. Rotve comprises Tolmin, Cerkno, Poljane, Škofja Loka, Črni Vrh, and Horjul.

Not all of them are mutually intelligible and feature differences in phonology and lexicon. Standard Slovene is based on Upper and Lower Carniolan dialects.

Republic Declared in Austria

Territories claimed by the Republic of German-Austria.  In addition to modern-day Austria (excepting Burgenland, at that time still in Hungary), it included South Tyrol (already occupied by the Italians) and the Sudetenland.

November 12 1918, Vienna--In the last two weeks of the war, Austria-Hungary had very quickly broken apart.  The Hungarian part of the empire split off entirely (and was itself under threat from the advancing Allies).  The new State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs had taken over much of what now forms Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and parts of northern Serbia.  Czechoslovakia declared independence and Kraków and the surrounding area had pledged allegiance to a new Polish state under Piłsudski.  The Ukrainians had established themselves in Lviv (though not without resistance from the Poles), while the Romanians had entered Bukovina and were preparing to move into Transylvania and the Italians had occupied  Trento, South Tyrol, and the Austrian Littoral (including Trieste and large parts of present-day Slovenia).  Even the German-populated portion of the empire was breaking away; on October 21, well before the other declarations of independence, the German Austrians had formed their own national committee.

When it became clear that none of his subjects wanted him anymore, Emperor Charles decided not to fight for his throne, ignoring pleas from Boroević to let him bring his army to Vienna to restore order.  On November 11, Charles, in a carefully-worded proclamation, announced that “I renounce all part in state affairs”--not technically an abdication, but it was taken as such.  On November 12, the German Austrian national committee declared the existence of the Republic of German-Austria, under the leadership of the Social Democrats.  German nationalism had been growing in Austria during the war, and it was commonly assumed that the new Republic would quickly join with Germany (as the new State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs would join with Serbia).  The provisional constitution, issued on the same day, stated that “German-Austria is an integral part of the German republic.”  The next day, they began negotiations with Germany regarding a union, and they soon appealed for Wilson’s support on the basis of national self-determination.  The Allies were less than enthusiastic about enlarging defeated Germany, however, and made sure the union did not take place.
