Army Slavic (German: Armee-Slawisch) was a pidgin[1] consisting of about eighty key words, mostly of Czech origin.

It was developed to help overcome language barriers in Austria-Hungary and was in use until the end of World War I.

Part of the reason for the existence of this specialized language was that, while German and Hungarian were official languages, half of the soldiery was recruited from areas that spoke various Slavic languages.
