Launched in December 2004 by the Domestic Research Society, Razvezani jezik [The Unleashed Tongue] is the first user-generated online dictionary of spoken Slovenian language. A web project created with Wiki technology, it permits easy editing of articles in the dictionary and allows every visitor to add new entries freely. It quickly gained popularity and was labelled "the most entertaining Slovenian dictionary" by the media. The anonymous users contribute slang, neologisms and similar words and phrases from all Slovene regions and belong to different generations and subcultures.


Publications

The online form for contributions is not structured therefore the entries follow the logic of the writer. The publisher decided to offer the selected contents in a book format from time to time. The e-brochure from 2006 was followed by Razvezani jezik printed dictionary in 2007. It brought some 10 % of the content, illustrated by Vasja Lebarič in a folk-punk style. To mark the 10th anniversary of the project, Kaja Dolar and Inge Pangos selected and edited a thematic Razvezani jezik XXXY dictionary, dedicated to sex and sexuality. It was designed by Ajdin Bašić and illustrated by Anna Ehrlemark and published in 2014.
