Way of life of Slovaks in the Low Land was and remains a continually evolving socio-cultural system which is very vividly and naturally responsive to the surrounding environment and circumstances that have been brought about in different historical periods. The important question is not just which elements of their way of life are typically "Slovak" , but rather to what extent and how can the Slovak community maintain ethnic consciousness, mother tongue and communication links with Slovaks during the entire period of the separation. The paper presents characteristics of current Slovak minority in Romania in the context of historical development, and also presents selected aspects of empirical research of the Slovaks living in Romania.
The paper deals with problems of remigration of Romanian Slovaks and migration movement of Bihor-Sǎlaj Slovaks to Nadlak and with emphasis on local, ethnical confessional, socio-professional and cultural identity. The paper is devoted to issues of identity transformations of the Slovaks in Nadlak, which specify the local, ethnical, socio-professional and cultural identity. We place great emphases on interaction and how these identities are mutually interfere. Information that the author has worked and analysed in this part is derived solely from the field research.
