About Czech

Previously known as Bohemian, this is the official language of the Czech Republic and is mutually understandable with Slovak. Its vocabulary is primarily Slavic with influences from Latin and Germanic languages. Common Czech, which is the dominant version and the one taught on uTalk, was originally based on the dialect spoken in Prague. Like most other Slavic languages, Czech has no definite article - ‘the' - so the word 'vlak' could mean ‘a train’ or ‘the train’.
