Czechs are mainly atheist, besides Moravia (part that borders Slovakia) which is quite Catholic compared to rest of Czechia. Moravian dialects are somewhere between Czech and Slovak language. Slovaks are mostly Catholic (around 60%). Czech are more liberal in general and Slovaks more conservative. Czech Ethnicity. About 64% of people in Czechoslovakia identify as being ethnically Czech. The Czech people speak the Czech language, a Slavic language, and can trace their ethnic heritage back to the region of their republic historically called Bohemia. Is Bohemian an ethnicity? Bohemian as an ethnic and geographical term I am Czech/Slovak (parents from both countries) and I can best understand Polish, then Ukrainian and Russian and only then Slovenian and Serbo-Croatian. The reason for that is that Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were always in one "pack" while Yugoslavia was separated by Hungary and Romania from the others. Making Small Talk. 1. Greet people in Slovak. Some of the first words you often learn in a language are how to say "hello" to others. With a proper greeting, people tend to be much more friendly and accommodating. The basic word for "hello" in Slovak is Dobrý deň (DOH-bree deñ). Slovaks of Zakarpattia. The Slovaks of Zakarpattia are not those who happened to move from Slovakia to Ukraine, but those to whom Ukraine ‘happened’. And before then, Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic also ‘happened’ to them. The first Slovaks – the Liptaks – came as migrant workers to The Czechoslovak language ( Czech: jazyk československý, Slovak: Československý jazyk) was a political sociolinguistic concept used in Czechoslovakia in 1920–1938 [1] for the definition of the state language of the country which proclaimed its independence as the republic of two nations, i.e. ethnic groups, Czechs and Slovaks . The largest Slovak-speaking community outside of Slovakia is in the Czech Republic, where approximately 200,000 people speak Slovak as their first language. There are also significant Slovak-speaking communities in the United States, Canada, and Australia, where many Slovaks have emigrated over the years. The same is true about using Slovak in the Czech Republic under the Administration Procedure Act of 2004. Gustáv Slamečka, a Slovak citizen who was the Czech transport minister (2009–2010), used only Slovak exclusively during his official communication.
