TY - JOUR TI - Slavic languages in contact, 4: Turkic in Slovak – A short note AU - Stachowski, Marek TI - Slavic languages in contact, 4: Turkic in Slovak – A short note AB - Slovak has never had especially intense contacts with Turkish or any other Turkic lan­guage. This author tries to show that loanwords called “Turkisms in Slovak” neverthe­less call for more attention and research than one might initially think as well as that, indeed, there possibly exist a few words borrowed directly from Turkish into Slovak. These words may, at least sometimes, reflect an old colloquial pronunciation variant in the speech of Turkish soldiers and are, thus, a Slovak contribution to investigation into Turkish linguistic history.
