Slovene

Slovene is the official language of Slovenia. There are also Slovenian speakers scattered throughout other countries, including Croatia, Italy, the United States, Austria, Hungary, Canada, Australia, South Africa and Argentina.http://www.omniglot.com/writing/slovene.htm

Slovene uses the altered Latin alphabet called the Gaj alphabet. This version of the alphabet is used by a number of Slavic languages such as Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian, using their own variation. The Slovene variation of the Gaj alphabet has the added letters of š, and ž. The letters q, w, x, and y have been removed for a total of 25 letters altogether.http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/enwiki/en/Slovene_alphabet http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/enwiki/en/The_Gaj_Latin_Alphabet/4

The Slovene language started to take shape in the 10th century. During World War II, Slovenian was suppressed by the occupying forces of Germany, Italy and Hungary. It was reinstated as the official language of Slovenia after World War II.http://www.ukom.gov.si/eng/slovenia/background-information/slovene/history/
