Kaj je gor! 📖🤔

Did you know that June 8th was Primož Trubar Day in Slovenija? Trubar authored the very first printed books in the Slovene language, Catechismus and Abecedarium, in 1550.

By writing in the common tongue, he helped unify the spoken dialects into a written language, giving the Slovenian people a unified cultural voice.

He also was the first Slovenian to translate parts of the Bible into Slovene, publishing the New Testament between 1555 and 1577.

The Slovenian language that we speak today can be traced back to his work!
