		Literary Czech (LC) was the carrier of an important body of culture in the 13th - 16th centuries, but its functions have been weakened due to the pressure of German in the 17th and 18th centuries.
		In the 19th century, LC was revived somewhat artificially on the basis of concentrated efforts of Czech writers, poets, translators, editors and teachers.
		In the meantime, however, most dialects in Bohemia merged into the central and majority variety of Common Czech (CC), a primarily spoken variety; CC was later characterized by Havránek (1934; 1955) as not being narrowly restricted in the geographical sense and as constituting a source of enrichment and development for the Standard norm.
