Linguist Ábel Kráľ passed away on May 12, 2023 at the age of 90.
He was one of the representative people of Slovak linguistics, especially in the field of Slovak pronunciation – phonetics and phonology. His most influential work is Pravidlá slovenskej výslovnosti (The Rules of Slovak Pronunciation). Among other things, he co-authored Atlas slovenských hlások (The Atlas of Slovak Speech Sounds), Fonetika a fonológia (Phonetics and Phonology), and Základy jazykovej kultúry (Basics of Language Culture).
We express our sincere condolences to the entire family, friends, and colleagues.
May he rest in peace!
