Abstract
Around 2.5 million people around the world speak or understand Slovene, with the vast majority of them living in the Republic of Slovenia where it is the official language. The constitution grants the right to use their mother tongue to Italian and Hungarian minorities in certain municipalities. In terms of Language Technology, the Slovene CLARIN.SI consortium plays the key role in the community; all major Slovene institutions involved in the development of LT resources, tools and services are members of the consortium. In contrast, the number of private companies in Slovenia specialising in LT for Slovene remains low, and most of the LT products come either from the (Slovene) academic sphere via national or EU funding, or from the big international IT companies that cover a large number of languages.
