Moravian language

The Moravian language (Moraviand and Czech: Moravština, Moravský jazyk) is a disputed West Slavic language in the Czech Republic in Moravia. The Czech people and linguist will be treated as a dialect of Czech language. Few Moravians but agree, that his mother tongue is the Moravian.

The differences between the Moravian and Czech are identical, as between the Czech language and the Slovakian dialects. The Moravian language have Dialect continuum with the West Slovak dialects. The documents from the Middle Age distinguish the Czech and Moravian language and before the 19th century existed Moravian literary language. In the 19th century was widespread the idea, that the Moravian is a dialect of the Czech language and the Moravians some a ethnographic group of the Czech people. Raised the possibility, that the Czech literary language expand from the Moravian, but the standardizators opposed this notion, including František Palacký. His arguments was, that the Moravian is very primitive dialect.

After 1991 again raised the Moravian-question, where related to the question of obcená čeština and spisovná čeština. The obcená čeština, or Common Czech is displacing the Czech literary language in the Czech Republic, almost the Moravians speak the literary Czech. Moravian intellectuals seeking standardized the Moravian language, the Czechs try to ridicule this program. But another groupe in Moravia propose the standardization of the Common Czech in the Czech Republic, while in Moravia remain the spisovná čeština.

In Moravia the Moravané party support the idea of the Moravian language.
