Czech

Czech is a West Slavic language spoken by over 10 million people. It is the official language of the Czech Republic and has minority language status in several other countries.

History[edit | edit source]

The Czech language has its origins in the Slavic languages spoken in Central Europe during the Early Middle Ages. The first written records of the language date back to the 9th century. Over the centuries, the language has evolved and been influenced by other languages, including Latin, German, and English.

Grammar[edit | edit source]

Czech grammar is highly inflected, with nouns and adjectives having seven cases. The language also has a complex system of verb conjugation and uses a rich variety of pronouns.

Phonology[edit | edit source]

Czech phonology is characterized by a system of vowel length, where the length of a vowel can change the meaning of a word. The language also has a number of unique consonants, including the ř sound, which is notoriously difficult for non-native speakers to pronounce.

Vocabulary[edit | edit source]

The Czech vocabulary is largely Slavic in origin, although it has also borrowed many words from other languages, particularly Latin, German, and English. The language also has a number of loanwords from other Slavic languages.

Writing system[edit | edit source]

Czech is written using a modified version of the Latin alphabet. The language uses diacritics to indicate vowel length and certain consonant sounds.
