116-675: A campaign to promote the Moravian nationality and language. The 2011 census recorded 62,908 native speakers of Moravian. The Czech-Slovak dialect continuum historically blended into Silesian in the west and Old Ruthenian (also known as Chancery Slavonic) in the east. With the development of the written standards in the 19th century, it has become less diversified, but there remains a pronounced dialectal division in Moravia . The southeastern Moravian dialects, in particular, are sometimes considered dialects of Slovak rather than Czech, e.g. using
145-497: A group from the other Slavic languages' (Sussex & Cubberley 2006).

174-645: A subgroup within the West Slavic languages comprising the Czech and Slovak languages . Most varieties of Czech and Slovak are mutually intelligible , forming a dialect continuum (spanning the intermediate Moravian dialects ) rather than being two clearly distinct languages; standardised forms of these two languages are, however, easily distinguishable and recognizable because of disparate vocabulary, orthography, pronunciation, phonology, suffixes and prefixes. The eastern Slovak dialects are more divergent and form

377-462: The vocative case , while the Czech vocative is still very much alive. Slovak uses the passive voice formed as in English less than Czech, and prefers the passive voice formed using the reflexive pronoun sa (as in East Slavic languages ) instead.

The Czech-Slovak Dictionary of Different Terms (1989, Prague) contains some 11,000 entries (without professional terminology): Examples of words with different meanings: SK topiť (to melt/to drown) (could be same meanings, depends on region) – CZ topit (to heat/to drown), SK kúriť (to heat) – CZ kouřit (to smoke), SK horký (bitter) – CZ horký (hot) but hořký (bitter), SK stávka (stake, bet) – CZ stávka (strike), SK chudý (slim, skinny) – CZ chudý (poor; metaphorically also slim), SK kapusta (cabbage) – CZ kapusta (Savoy cabbage), SK pivnica (cellar) – CZ pivnice (pub), SK syrový (cheesy, of cheese) – CZ syrový (raw, uncooked) but sýrový (of cheese), SK spraviť (to make, to create) – CZ spravit (to repair, to fix).

551-699: The closely related Czech and Slovak peoples took a significantly different course during the later medieval period, the Czechs being associated with the Holy Roman Empire and the Slovaks being affected by the history of Eastern Europe (the history of Hungary and the Mongol invasion ). In the 16th century, however, they were once again united under Habsburg rule , and after the fall of the Habsburg monarchy sharing their own country of Czechoslovakia during 1918–1992. In

#1732787436117638-511: The first written attestation of the language in the 13th to 14th centuries. The diversification of West Slavic had the characteristic of a dialect continuum . For example, the spirantisation of Slavic /g/ to /h/ is an areal feature shared by the Czech-Slovak group with both Ukrainian and Sorbian (but not with Polish). This innovation appears to have traveled from east to west, and is sometimes attributed to contact with Scytho-Sarmatian . It
667-409: The following phonemes which Czech does not have: /ʎ/ , /rː/ , /lː/ , and the diphthongs /ɪɐ/ , /ɪe/ , /ɪʊ/ , /ʊo/ (also /ɛɐ/ in higher-style standard Slovak, or some dialects); and on the contrary, Czech has /r̝/ . Slovak, unlike Czech, uses palatal consonants more frequently (that is, is phonetically "softer"), but there are some exceptions. Slovak de , te , ne are usually pronounced as
696-429: The high medieval period, the West Slavic tribes were again pushed to the east by the incipient German Ostsiedlung , decisively so following the Wendish Crusade in the 11th century.

The Czech-Slovak in turn develops as a separate dialect continuum within West Slavic during roughly the 10th to 12th centuries, just predating
725-469: The modern period, the spoken language of Bohemia became influenced by the written standard and developed into Common Czech , largely effacing dialectal variation within Bohemia. By contrast, Moravia remained dialectally diverse, with a series of variants intermediate between Czech and Slovak, and are thus sometimes viewed as dialects of Slovak rather than Czech. The Czech–Slovak group was summarized under
754-478: The remaining Sorbs, became a crown land of Bohemia in the 11th century, and Silesia followed suit in 1335. The Slovaks , on the other hand, never became part of the Holy Roman Empire, being incorporated into the Kingdom of Hungary . Hungary fell under Habsburg rule alongside Austria and Bohemia in the 16th century, thus uniting the Bohemians, Moravians, Slovaks, and Silesians under a single ruler. While Lusatia
783-567: The same declension patterns for nouns and pronouns and the same verb conjugations as Slovak. In a 1964 textbook on Czech dialectology , Břetislav Koudela used the sentence put the flour from the mill in the cart to highlight phonetic differences between dialects: The following comparison concerns the contemporary written standards: Slovak graphemes that do not exist in Czech are: ä, ľ, ĺ, ŕ, ô. Czech graphemes that do not exist in Slovak are: ě, ř and ů (see Pronunciation for Czech language and Pronunciation for Slovak language ). Slovak has
812-578: The term "Bohemian–Moravian–Slovak" ( Böhmisch-Mährisch-Slowakisch ) in the Austrian census of Cisleithania beginning in the 1880s. The Czechoslovak language was an attempt to create a single written standard , first proposed during the national revival in the 1830s and the official language of the First Czechoslovak Republic from 1920 to 1938.
