 On the end and after the war, the great majority of the remaining Germans were expropriated (AVNOJ-Decree), expulsed or murdered by jugoslav partisans.In the census of 2002, just 1628 persons (0,1% of the population) declared German as their mother tongue.Almost everyone today born in Slovenia knows Slovene because people learn obligatory Slovene in school, but many at home speak other languages as well.
