The Slovene Society was founded upon the proposal of several Slovene patriotic associations and individuals from Maribor, who urged the establishment of an institution that would publish advanced scholarly literature in Slovene, foster the expansion of culture among Slovenes, and development of scientific terminology in Slovene.
Masyarakat Slovenia didirikan atas usul beberapa asosiasi patriotik Slovenia dan individu dari Maribor, yang mendesak pembentukan sebuah institusi yang akan menerbitkan literatur ilmiah mutakhir di Slovenia, dan mendorong ekspansi budaya antara orang-orang Slovenia, dan pengembangan terminologi ilmiah di Slovenia.
