Czech Information
Czech is a Western Slavonic language spoken by the people of the Czech Republic.
Czech Language Facts
Czech is closely related to Slovak, and to a lesser extent, Polish and Serbian. It is one of the 23 official languages in the European Union.
Speakers of both Czech and Slovak usually understand both languages in their written and spoken form, although some dialects or heavily accented speech in either language might present difficulties to speakers of the other.
The region where Czech is spoken is traditionally called Bohemia and was named after the Boii tribe, which, according to Roman sources, has inhabited the area since at least the 1st century AD. The dialects spoken in Moravia are also considered forms of Czech.
Czech literature started to appear in the 13th century. The first printed book in Czech, the story of the Trojan War, was published at Plzeň (Pilsen) in 1468. After many years of Austrian rule, during which German was the main language of literature and government, there was a revival of Czech literature at the end of the 18th century.
Writing Czech
The most prominent writer during the early period of Czech literature was Jan Hus (1369-1415), a religious reformer who also reformed Czech spelling. He created the system of having one grapheme (letter) for every phoneme (sound) in the language by adding accents to some of the letters. As a result, written Czech looks very different from written Polish. For example, in Czech the sound "ch", as in "church", is written "č", but the same sound is written "cz" in Polish.
