Most Slovaks today live within the borders of the independent Slovakia (circa 5,410,836). There are Slovak minorities in Poland, Hungary, Serbia and sizeable populations of immigrants and their descendants in the Czech Republic, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. ==Name== The name ''Slovak'' is derived from '' *Slověninъ'', plural '' *Slověně'', the old name of the Slavs. In the Slovak language; only the masculine noun ''Slověninъ'',''Slověn'' changed to ''Slovän'', ''Slovan'' and finally (under Czech and Polish influence) to ''Slovák'' around 1400. The older form ''Sloven'' is preserved in all similar words in the Slovak language - the adjective "Slovak" is still ''slovenský'', the feminine noun "Slovak" is still ''Slovenka'' and the country is ''Slovensko''. The first written mention about usage of the new form ''Slovak'' in the territory of present-day Slovakia is from Bardejov (1444) - "''Nicoulaus Cossibor hauptman, Nicolaus Czech et Slowak, stipendiarii supremi''". The mentions in Czech sources are older - 1375 and 1385. The change is not related to ethnogenesis of Slovaks, but exclusively to linguistic changes in the West Slavic languages. The word Slovak was also used later as a common name for all Slavs in Czech, Polish and also Slovak language in parallel with other forms. The Slovaks and Slovenes are the only current Slavic nations that have preserved the original name. For Slovenes, the adjective is still ''slovenski'' and the feminine noun "Slovene" is still also ''Slovenka'', but the masculine noun has since changed to ''Slovenec''. The Slovak name for their language is ''slovenčina'' and the Slovene name for theirs is ''slovenščina''. The Slovak term for the Slovene language is ''slovinčina''; and the Slovenes call Slovak ''slovaščina''. The name is derived from proto-Slavic form ''slovo'' "word, talk" (cf. Slovak ''sluch'', which comes from the IE root *ḱlew-). Thus ''Slovaks'' as well as ''Slovenians'' would mean "people who speak (the same language)", i.e. people who understand each other. In Hungarian "Slovak" is ''Tót'' (pl: ''tótok''), an exonym. It was originally used to refer to all Slavs including Slovenes and Croats, but eventually came to refer primarily to Slovaks. Many place names in Hungary such as Tótszentgyörgy, Tótszentmárton, and Tótkomlós still bear the name. Tóth is a common Hungarian surname. The Slovaks have also historically been variously referred to as ''Slovyenyn'', ''Slowyenyny'', ''Sclavus'', ''Sclavi'', ''Slavus'', ''Slavi'', ''Winde'', ''Wende'', or ''Wenden''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slovaks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
