Ethnic Identity of the Borderland of Hungary, Austria and Slovenia
Geographica Timisiensis, vol. XXIV, nr1, 2015 ● ETHNIC IDENTITY OF THE BORDERLAND OF HUNGARY, AUSTRIA AND SLOVENIA Dániel BALIZS Geographical Institute, Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences, Hungarian Academy of Sciences Email: [email protected] Péter BAJMÓCY Szeged University, Department of Economy and Human Geography Szeged, Hungary Email: [email protected] Abstract The historical Vas county is a mezoregion on the borderland of three countries – Austria, Hungary and Slovenia. It has multipolar ethnic structure with several ethnic minorities along the borders. We can see the decline of ethnic diversity in the last decades not only in the disappearing of linguistic islands and scattered minority groups, but also in identitical (dual identity, strong local identities) and language using (bilingualism, polilingualism) aspects. In this paper we try to present the number, changes and regionality of ethnically mixed settlements and try to quantify the percentage of the ethnically mixed population. We used the official statistics and added the results of fieldworks and interviews with local people. In the minority settlements large percentage of the local community (30-70%) has a special type of identity because of the differences of ethnic, national and local identities, the geographic and historical circumstances. We can see this special way of thinking by the individual and community routes, language using specialities and the other representations of ethnic consciousness. Keywords: minorities, ethnic geography, ethnic identity, Carpathian Basin, diversity 1. INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to describe the ethnic characteristics of a special region. We can find several minority groups in the western part of the Carpathian-Basin. -

Printed in Belgium II PORTRAIT OF THE REGIONS eurostat Foreword The accession discussions already underway with all ten of the Phare countries of Central and Eastern Europe have further boosted the demand for statistical data concerning them. At the same time, a growing appreciation of regional issues has raised interest in regional differences in each of these countries. This volume of the “Portrait of the Regions” series responds to this need and follows on in a tradition which has seen four volumes devoted to the current Member States, a fifth to Hungary, a sixth volume dedicated to the Czech Republic and Poland, a seventh to the Slovak Republic and the most recent volume covering the Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Examining the 12 statistical regions of Slovenia, this ninth volume in the series has an almost identical structure to Volume 8, itself very similar to earlier publications. -

Prekmurje, Slovenia 2017 Grampus Heritage
Prekmurje, Slovenia 2017 Grampus Heritage 1 John, Jorgi, Hannah, Andrew and Rosie 2 Location of Murska Sobota, Slovenia We have just finished an unforgettable trip to Slovenia, where we learnt so much about its culture and history, whilst also having the most fun ever. We have met some incredible people, ate a lot of delicious food, and had some once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Our accommodation was in the town of Murska Sobota, in the region of Prekmurje (see image 2), close to the borders with Austria, Hungary and Croatia. Our time there mainly focused on Prekmurje and surrounding areas, but also included a trip across the Hungarian border, and even taught us some new skills such as basket weaving, beekeeping, and some beaver spotting techniques. We have done so much in three weeks that I will now do my best to summarise. Week 1 - Visited a beautiful floating mill and saw a lot of storks. - Went to a folklore festival in the town of Beltinci where we saw many traditional dances. - Made crafts using corn husks, and basket weaving. Weaving is quite tough because you really need a lot of strength in the fingers to keep the willow tight. - A trip to the town of Lendava, close to the Hungarian border, where the population is a mix of Slovenian and Hungarian. We visited the synagogue and learnt about the history of the Jewish community, walked up to Lendava castle and ate at an amazing Italian restaurant. We then drove to Lendava tower, with a beautiful view across to Austria, Croatia and Hungary – then to a small family vineyard in the hills above Lendava – we tried some delicious wine, with a beautiful view of the valley. -

Introduction
Introduction 1 Prekmurje Slovene among the Slavic languages There is reason to think of Prekmurje Slovene as a dialect of Slovene as well as a separate language. Indeed it has carried through many of the innovations that are characteristic of Slovene, shares most core vocabulary and grammat- ical structure, and from this perspective is part of a broader dialect group of the Pannonian group of Slovene dialects, together with the Slovenske gorice, Prlekija, and Haloze dialects, which in turn share a number of characteristics that differ from the rest of Slovene as well as neighboring Kajkavian dialects in Croatia (see Ramovš 1935, 171–193 for details). In favor of Prekmurje Slovene as a language1 is its written tradition, as it has been used for several centuries in a loosely standardized form, largely, but not exclusively, as a liturgical lan- guage. From a diachronic perspective, the Prekmurje dialect offers a glimpse at a linguistic code that came into being through heterogeneous processes. As pertains to all of South Slavic, its population migrated westward from the core Slavic area in today’s Ukraine in the second half of the first millennium AD. The founder population of Prekmurje Slovene (together with the Pannonian dialects) spoke a variety of Slavic that was already structurally different from that spoken in its neighboring areas to the west in today’s Slovenia as well as to the south in the Kajkavian-speaking region of Croatia. The affinity of the founder population is no longer fully recoverable, but some intriguing evidence pointing to this possibility may be found in today’s central Russia and central Bulgaria (Schallert and Greenberg 2007). -
Prekmurje Grammar As a Source of Slavic Comparative Material
Slovenski jezik – Slovene Linguistic Studies 7 (2009): 29–44 Marc L. Greenberg University of Kansas Prekmurje Grammar as a Source of Slavic Comparative Material Prispevek, predstavljen kot referat na 16. bienalnem simpoziju o južnoslovanskih jezikih, zago- varja objavo Pavlove rokopisne prekmurske slovnice Vend nyelvtan, dokončane l. 1942. Čeprav je prvotni namen slovnice, tj. uveljavitev pokrajinskega knjižnega jezika, zastarel, rokopis ponuja in- formacije o posebnem ustroju prekmurščine in je s tem tudi dragocen vir za tipološke, primerjalne in zgodovinske študije slovanskih jezikov. The paper, which was prepared for and delivered at the 16th Biennial Balkan and South Slavic Conference in Banff, Canada, makes the case for the publication of the 1942 Prekmurje Slovene grammar in manuscript, Avgust Pavel’s Vend nyelvtan, not for the purpose of reviving a competing literary language, but as a useful source of information for typological, comparative and historical studies of the Slavic languages. Slavic linguistics as it enters the twenty-first century can be seen as a mature field, given that its beginnings in the period of historical-comparative studies dates to the be- ginning of the nineteenth century with Dobrovský’s taxonomy of Slavic “dialects.”1 At least as far as the historical and comparative end of the spectrum of inquiry, new research cannot hope to yield profoundly new discoveries, but it can yield more sophisticated and fine-grained analyses. Moreover, it still has room to remove blind spots in its vision. One of the fundamental operating procedures in Slavic linguistics—so fundamental, in fact, that it is virtually never discussed—is the use of standard languages of contemporary na- tion states as the primary unit of analysis. -

The Circumflex Advancement in Prekmurje Slovenian and Bednja
The circumflex advancement in Prekmurje Slovenian and Bednja Kajkavian∗ Gaˇsper Beguˇs Harvard University [email protected] IWoBA IX, Juraj Dobrila University, Pula, Croatia 19-21 September 2013 1 Introduction The circumflex advancement is, according to Rigler (1986), one of the rare Common Slovenian (Comm. Slov.) phenomena and can be employed for distinguishing Slovenian from Kajkavian. The advancement is usually dated after the loss of the weak jers (Ramovˇs1995), which is shown by examples such as Comm. Slov. nom. sg. noh“at for PSl. *n‚ogt~ vs. Comm. Slov. gen. sg. noht“a for PSl. *n‚ogti.1 This chronology, however, has recently been questioned by Greenberg (1992, 1993), where it is proposed that the weak jers were still preserved at the time of advancement, at least in the Prekmurje dialect. Moreover, Greenberg (1992, 1993) claims that no advancement occurs if the a weak jer follows. The basis for such an assumption comes from the discussion of Bednja (Bed.) Kajkavian in Vermeer (1979), where the rule for non-advancement of the circumflex before a weak jer has first been observed and described. Vermeer (1979) thus proposes a rule for Bednja local dialect whereby the old circumflex is not advanced if jers in weak position immediately followed, e.g. Bed. n“aobrol2 < PSl. *n“a-b~ral, z“aozvol < *s‚-zval vs. peˇc“al < *p‚o-ˇce˛l, zop“er < *z“a-p~rl (examples from Jedvaj 1956). Greenberg (1992, 1993) claims the same rule for the Prekmurje (Pkm.) dialect as well. It is true that in Prekmurje the circumflex in l-participles is not advanced if jers followed, e.g. -
The Windish Peoples of the Mura Region
Information about The Windish Peoples of the Mura Region The Region. Our Gojdiná, Bánfi, Podlesek, and Mácsek ancestors were peasants in the southwest corner of Vas megye in Hungary. The area in which they lived had been a historic part of Hungary for over 1000 years, and was called the Muravidék -- the Mura river region. It is now the northeast corner of Slovenia, tucked between present-day Austria and Hungary – separated from the rest of Slovenia by the Mura River. The area is now called Prekmurje … literally, “beyond the Mura” river. The portion of a modern roadmap below shows that northeastern part of Slovenia, which is only about 15 miles wide, between Austria and Hungary. After World War I, the Muravidék was incorporated into the Slovene portion of the Yugoslav kingdom – officially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes until 1929. The Muravidék briefly reverted to Hungary during World War II, and was returned to Yugoslavia … by then a Federal Republic … at the end of that war. With the Yugoslav breakup, it peacefully remained a part of Slovenia, now an independent republic and member of the EU. The only urban place in the Mura region is Murska Sobota (in Hungarian, Muraszombat) with a population of about 20,000. The specific area we are interested in is centered on the small town of Puconci, a few miles north of Murska Sobota (see map above). Puconci was the location of an Evangelical church re-established in 1789, that served not only the town itself, but more than a dozen surrounding villages. -
