  Czech language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Czech ['ʧɛk] (čeština ['ʧɛʃ.cɪ.na]) is one of the West Slavic languages, along with Slovak, Polish, Pomeranian (Kashubian), and Lusatian Sorbian.
Czech and Slovak are usually mutually intelligible, however people born after ~1985 may have difficulty understanding the few words that differ significantly, or understanding fast spoken language.
In Czech grammar, the accusative case serves as the direct object, and the dative case serves as the indirect object.

 Czech Language
As a Slavic language Czech belongs to the eastern, or satem, division of Indo-European.
Czech has been influenced by a number of languages, especially Old Church Slavonic (introduced into the area by Constantine and Methodius in the 9th century), Latin (once the Pan-European language of learning), and German (the language of numerous colonists, as well as the main language of the Habsburg empire).
The language has been recorded, described, and analyzed in a number of grammars (the first grammar dating from 1533) and dictionaries (with the first dictionaries, written in verse, originating in the 2nd half of the 14th century).
