Moravian Slovakia

The area forms part of both the Zlín and South Moravian administrative regions.

Other important towns include Uherský Brod, Břeclav, Hodonín, Strážnice and Kyjov.

Moravian Slovakia is divided into six subregions: Dolňácko, Horňácko, Podluží, Moravské Kopanice, Hanácké Slovácko and Luhačovické zálesí.

Due to these cultural and linguistic links to Slovakia, many ethnographers until the 20th century used to consider Moravian Slovaks as a people which politically belonged to Moravia and the Bohemian Crown but ethnographically and culturally to the Slovak ethnic group.

Historically, there were also significant numbers of German speakers who also influenced local speech.
