Fran Ramovš Institute of the Slovenian Language

The Institute of Slovenian Language was established in 1945 for the purpose of compiling linguistic materials and using them for the creation of basic Slovenian language resources, such as: a dictionary of orthography and pronunciation, a dictionary of standard Slovenian, descriptive and historical studies in linguistics, and many more.

The Institute has been re-organised several times. Since the establishment of ZRC SAZU in 1982, it has included the sections for lexicological, etymological-onomastic, dialectological and terminological dictionaries. In 1986 the Institute was named after its first head, Academician Dr Fran Ramovš.
