List of towns in Slovakia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of cities and towns in Slovakia. For a list of villages and municipalities in Slovakia see the List of villages and municipalities in Slovakia.
This list of cities and towns shows the Slovak names first, then the historical German name, then the historical Hungarian name, and finally the town's population as of 2004 (31. 12.). (Note that the German or Hungarian are used by the respective ethnic minorities and the Hungarian names are used in Hungary. In communities where the ethnic minority represents 20% or more of the population, the minority has a wide range of cultural and linguistic rights.)
