In Slovenia, the Little Prince is known as Mali Princ.

The University of Halle has put together a project called Der Kleine Prinz in 100 Sprachen (The Little Prince in 100 Languages) The basic idea is to translate and record an excerpt from Saint-ExupĂ©ry’s famous story into numerous languages and dialects. (Including Slovenian.)

According to the site, the majority of voicework is done by native speakers. Non-native speakers are specially marked with the symbol "L2." (Like here, for example.) In other words, the Slovene recording (which has no "L2") is done by a native Slovenian speaker from Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Now… go ahead and listen to the Slovene recording by a native speaker from Ljubljana, Slovenia, and tell me if you notice anything strange. Go ahead. I’ll wait here.

How did it go?

Look, I don’t claim to be an expert in Slovene, but even I laughed when I heard that reading, and I’m a lousy, no-good foreigner. There’s absolutely no way you can tell me that that voice belongs to a LjubljanÄ?anka. [mp3]

Is it even the voice of a Slovene? Here I’m not sure, and need your help. My first thought was no — but then, there are so many dialects here; maybe this lady is a Carinthian Slovene? It definitely sounds Germanic. Unfortunately, I don’t know Slovenian dialects well enough to recognize them.

Perhaps someone reading this knows the answer. Anyone?
