Usage of those languages is arranged by the regulations of churches and religious communities. \n* The law does not regulate the usage of languages of national minorities and ethnic groups. Usage of those languages is arranged by separate laws. In the mixed territories, bilingualism is preserved. In towns with a minority of at least 10%, it is possible to use the minority language in certain official situations. The law names several circumstances of public and official situations, \u2013 e.g. doctors (although all medical personnel are exempt from the financial sanctions) \u2013 in which the use of the Slovak language should take precedence both in written and spoken form. Despite this, the law does not apply to the Czech language, which can be used in any circumstance and occasion whatsoever, as Czech and Slovak are mutually intelligible."@en . . . . . . . . .
