towns and villages where Hungarians make up the local majority, and are, therefore, socialised using the Hungarian language. However, since the members of the Hungarian speech community of Slovakia are typically Hungarian-Slovak bilinguals (Hungarian-dominant bilinguals), Hungarian children usually acquire a contact variety of Hungarian in Slovakia, a vernacular variety, which is different from the monolingual and central variety spoken in Hungary. Still, the differences are not manifested in the teaching of the Hungarian language in the schools: it is taught with the same content in schools working with Hungarian as a language of instruction in Slovakia as it is in Hungary. The result of this monolingual perspective is that students are not prepared to handle language use problems stemming from the situation of bilingualism they live in.
