		The oldest poetry written in the area currently known as England was composed in Old English, a precursor to the English language that is not something a typical modern English-speaker could be expected to be able to read.

		Both in language and, presumably, in blood, the Slovaks are very close to the Chekhs, so close that Protestant Slovaks use the old Bohemian translation af the Bible made in 1613 by tbe followers of Huss.
		Indeed, till after 1850, when the first Slovak grammar was written, authors of Slovak birth, including the poet Kollar and the scholar Safarik, wrote in Bohemian, regarding that as the literary form of their own tongue.
		The Slovaks claim that their vernacular, as compared with the Chekh, is purer from contamination with foreign idioms, racier, richer in old words that are obsolete or uaknown in Bohemia, and above all more musical and euphonious.
