Prekmurje Slovenes
The Prekmurje Slovenes () are Slovenes from Prekmurje in Slovenia and Vendvidék and Somogy in Hungary. The Prekmurje Slovenes speak the Prekmurje Slovene dialect and have a common culture. The Hungarian Slovenes ''(Porabski Slovenci)'' and Somogy Slovenes also speak the Prekmurje Slovene dialect. Origins The Prekmurje Slovenes are descendants of the Slovenes of Lower Pannonia (Slovene ''Spodnja Panonija'', Prekmurje dialect ''Spoudnja Panonija'', ), who were vassals of the Frankish Empire in the 9th century. The Magyars conquered Lower Pannonia in 900, and many of the Slovenes were assimilated. However, the Prekmurje Slovenes in the vicinity of the Mura River maintained their identity. Middle Ages The dialect spoken by the Prekmurje Slovenes, in the absence of contacts with other Slovenes, began to diverge from the standard Slovene (Carniolan) dialect. Nevertheless, contacts were maintained with other Slovene areas such as Lower Styria, Maribor, and Ljutomer. In the M ...

This text and Miklós Küzmics's ''Szvéti Evangyeliomi'' are the most important works in standard Prekmurje Slovene. The prologue ''(Predgovor)'' Küzmics published ''Nouvi Zákon'' in 1771 in Halle, Saxony-Anhalt, with the assistance of Hungarian and Slovene Lutherans ''(Nouvi Zákon ali Testamentim Goszpodna Nasega Jezusa Krisztusa zdaj oprvics zGrcskoga na sztári szlovenszki jezik obrnyeni po Stevan Küzmicsi Surdánszkom f.)''.

Torkos evidently wrote the prologue in Latin and Küzmics in turn translated it into the Prekmurje dialect. This question was raised by the Slovene writer Mihály Bako ...

Protestant Reformation
The Reformation, also known as the Protestant Reformation or the European Reformation, was a time of major theological movement in Western Christianity in 16th-century Europe that posed a religious and political challenge to the papacy and the authority of the Catholic Church. Towards the end of the Renaissance, the Reformation marked the beginning of Protestantism. It is considered one of the events that signified the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the early modern period in Europe. The Reformation is usually dated from Martin Luther's publication of the '' Ninety-five Theses'' in 1517, which gave birth to Lutheranism. Prior to Martin Luther and other Protestant Reformers, there were earlier reform movements within Western Christianity. The end of the Reformation era is disputed among modern scholars.
