Czech Language Institute

The Czech Language Institute, Czech: Ústav pro jazyk český, abbr. ÚJČ, is the regulatory body of the Czech language.

Note from Czech people: Czech language institute is not regulatory body of the Czech language. The one has no rights to control or regulate Czech language. This Institute caused several hard lapses in past. For example: In 1993 Czech Minister for education Ivan Pilip has officially cancelled and fixed the rules of Czech language from Czech language Institute. Many Czech people protested against the work of Czech Language Institute.

Czech language institute has only passive role. The one only passive collects and researches the spontaneous evolution of Czech language. Czech language institute can determine rules for Czech language only for schools, not for official Czech language.

Czech language institute changes rules for Czech language very very often, many times per century. Every Czech people meets several significant changes of Czech language – that's why (together with lapses) this instutute haven't authority to regulate Czech language.

It is one of the institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. It resides in Prague.

The institute was established in 1946 by transforming the original Kancelář Slovníku jazyka českého (Office of the Dictionary of the Czech Language), which had existed since 1911.
