Excerpt: Prekmurian, also known as the Pannonian-Slovene, East-Slovene, or Wendish (Slovene: , Hungarian: , Prekmurian: prekmürski jezik, prekmür¿cina, prekmör¿cina, prekmörski jezik, panonska sloven¿cina), is the easternmost separate dialect of Slovene, spoken in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia and by the Hungarian Slovenes in Vas county in western Hungary. It is closely related to the Slovene dialects in neighboring Slovene Styria, as well as to the Kajkavian dialect of Croatian. Prekmurian is one of the few Slovene dialects in Slovenia that is still spoken by all strata of the local population.

Together with Resian, Prekmurian language is the only Slovene dialect with a literary standard that has had a different historical development from the rest of Slovene ethnic territory. For centuries, it was used as a language of religious education, as well as in the press and mass. The historical Hungarian name for the Slovenes living within the borders of the Kingdom of Hungary (as well as for the Slovenians in general) was Vendek, or the Wends. In the 18th and 19th centuries Prekmurian authors used to designate this dialect as sztári szlovenszki jezik 'old Slovene'. Both then and now, it is also referred to as the Slovene language between
