 The Martjanci hymnal () was compiled in Martjanci in a mixture of Prekmurje Slovene and Kajkavian dialect in the 16th and 17th centuries.This manuscript hymnal, kept at the university library in Maribor, is an exceptionally important literary monument because of its contents and the use of dialect, which influenced later transcriptions of Prekmurje folk songs.The writers Miklós Legén, Mihály Terplán, József Pusztai, and József Bagáry lived in the village.
