Slovaks in the Czech Republic are the country's second-largest ethnic minority; after the Moravians, who are native to the Czech Republic.
The American CIA puts them at 1.9% of the country's total population.
[3] Larger numbers of them can be found in the country's east, especially Ostrava and Brno; as the Czech Republic shares a border in the east with Slovakia.
Brno especially is popular among Slovak university students.
People with Slovak ancestry can be found throughout the Czech Republic.
