Abstract: The paper points to the specific being of Slovaks in the Lowland. It directs its attention to the minority existence of Slovaks in Hungary in the 20th century (and just after the millennium). The focus is on journalistic texts by folk author Štefan Hudák (1923 – 2005), who moved to Czechoslovakia after the Second World War as part of the Mať volá (Mother is Calling) action. Even there, however, he did not remain unfaithful to cultural creation. From his journalistic texts-articles, which he published in domestic and foreign magazines (often, for example, in Ľudové noviny (Folk Newspaper) – the weekly of Slovaks in Hungary), he published a selection about the life of Slovaks in Hungary (less in Romania, Serbia) entitled Z dolnozemského zapisníka (From the Lowland Notebook, published in town called Zvolen, 1997). The paper analyzes these articles, interprets individual specific, special attributes that relate to the life and cultural history of the Slovak minority in the mentioned countries.
