I think you will find that the so called "high" Czech is merely a function of education and thus the size and context of the words used by the better educated as compared to the less or non educated. The differences are pretty much like the differences you would find among those speaking "high American" and "low American." Nice pix, Judi. Brought back fond memories.

My family insists that they spoke "Bohemian" and that they couldn't understand the "high" Czech or Bohemian. What are the differences? This would explain why my mom cannot understand much of what I am saying in Czech (the "modern" version on tape/CD) >thanks >judi > > >==== CZECH Mailing List ==== >RootsWeb forbids posting of copyrighted material without >permission of the author.
