History of Slovak
Slovak evolved separately from Czech despite both descending from Proto-Slavic. Literary Slovak was codified in the 19th century during the Slovak National Revival. Though combined with Czech in Czechoslovakia, Slovak maintained distinct vocabulary and phonetics. Since 1993, Slovakia has developed its language independently.
Is Slovak Hard to Learn?
Slovak has six cases and complex grammar, but is considered softer and more melodic than Czech. It lacks the difficult Czech ř sound. Slovak's position between Czech and South Slavic makes it a bridge language for understanding multiple Slavic tongues.
