Grammatica Slavico–Bohemica (Pressburg, 1746) is an integrated Slovak-Czech grammar published by the Slovak linguist Pavel Doležal. The preface was written by the polyhistor Matthias Bel.

Dialects depicted

Doležal's lingua Slavico-Bohemica is a diasystem of two "dialects" used by two different nations.[1] The Czech language is strictly the language of the Bible of Kralice[2]—the literal language used by Slovak Lutherans. The Slovak language is de facto the urban dialect of educated Slovaks from Skalica (Moravian Valley Western Slovak) with some non-Western Slovak features.[2]

Impact

The work had a significant impact on the further development of Czech and Slovak. It introduced a new grammatical conception, a new classification of verbs and substantives, and influenced the later codification of the modern Czech language (Josef Dobrovský) as well as the codification of the Slovak language (Anton Bernolák).[3]
