Geography

The municipality lies at an altitude of 125 metres and covers an area of 11.343 km².

History

In the 9th century, the territory of Janiky became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. In historical records the name of the village was first mentioned in 1287 in the Hungarian form Janok. The Slovak form was first recorded in 1311 as Janyk. In 1940, three villages Alsójányok, Felsőjányok and Bústelek were unified creating the present-day municipality.

Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Somorja district of Pozsony County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovak administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947.

Demography

At the 2001 Census the recorded population of the village was 782 while an end-2008 estimate by the Statistical Office had the village's population as 834. As of 2001, 90.28% of its population were Hungarians, while 9.08% were Slovaks.

Roman Catholicism is the majority religion of the village, its adherents numbering 96.80% of the total population.[2]

gollark: Anyway, what I'm saying is, outside of selling of data to other companies (which basically just spreads it more widely, which I guess you might be against in itself?), what particular bad things are you worried non-Google companies might do with your data?
gollark: Initiate orbital laser strike!
gollark: Occasionally when I have a search query DDG won't answer, I try Google, but it also tends to not help either.
gollark: Yep!
