The Municipality of Hodoš (Slovene: Občina Hodoš [ˈóːptʃina ˈxóːdɔʃ]; Hungarian: Hodos község [ˈhodoʃ ˈkøʃʃeːɡ]) is a municipality in Slovenia. The seat of the municipality is the town of Hodoš (Hungarian: Hodos). It is part of the Prekmurje region. Both Slovene and Hungarian are official languages in the municipality. The municipality comprises two villages: Hodoš (Hungarian: Hodos) and Krplivnik (Hungarian: Kapornak).[2] The municipality was established on 7 August 1998, when it was separated from the former Municipality of Hodoš–Šalovci.[3]
