Abstract
This article deals with the language situation of the Hungarian community in the Czech Republic after the division of Czechoslovakia (January 1, 1993). Nearly 20,000 Hungarians live in the Czech Republic today. Various Hungarian public organizations operate here, journals are published in Hungarian, and the Hungarian language appears in the Czech mass media regularly. The results of the qualitative research into Hungarians in the Czech Republic, carried out by the authors, are presented in this article. The questionnaire-based interviews were used to extract from the informants, belonging to three different age-groups, the following bilingualism issues: the degree of their knowledge of Hungarian and Czech, the domain in which the informants use either Hungarian or Czech, the choice of languages for written and spoken communication, and attitudes of the informants to both languages.
