In the new millennium, there is more and more talk about the protection of small languages, as well as the linguistic aggression of global languages (today English, tomorrow another) against small ones. At a time when everything is focused on protection on the one hand and resistance on the other, the question of linguistic interculturalism among young speakers arises, especially in terms of learning about neighbouring languages and cultures. This paper presents empirical research (with quantitative and qualitative analysis) into the language interculturality of young people, with an emphasis on research on the importance of preserving the mother tongue and interest in learning about neighbouring languages (in this case Slovene).
