Traditional Slovakian folk instruments include the fujara, a two-metre long flute, the gajdy, or the 
bagpipe, and the korukovka, a strident shepherd's flute. Folk songs helped preserve the Slovak 
language during the  millennium of Hungarian control. Even today, an aspect of Slovakian 
nationalism is pride in the mother tongue and Slovaks can get angry when other Slavic languages are 
spoken instead of theirs. Another tradition, which keeps Slovakian culture alive, is the dancing which 
accompanies the music. While the songs tell of love, grief, anticipation and celebration, vigorous 
dancing removes the uncertainty of life.
