Featured Language: Czech Czech At-a-Glance Czech is a Slavic language written in the Roman script and the foundations of the alphabet were laid by the great religious reformer Jan Hus, in the early 15th century. According to CzechLanguage.net, it is closely related to Slovak, which is spoken in Slovakia, and states Czech and Slovak are mutually intelligible. Czech is the official language of the Czech Republic, spoken by virtually the entire population of more than 10 million people and about 200,000 speakers in other countries, mostly emigrants and children of emigrants who left the country in sizable migrations around World War I, World War II, and the years 1948 and 1968. Many Czech speakers can be found in Austria (mostly in Vienna), Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Croatia (mostly in the Daruvar area), in Western Romania (in Banat), in Australia, and Canada. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the largest group of Czech speakers live in New York City, Chicago, or Cleveland and in a number of rural communities in Texas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Nebraska.
