Well, what a "Bohemian" subject this is.. ;-) As far as I know, the term "Bohemian" (Bohemsky) has been used in the Czech language only to refer to free-spirited people. In contrast, the adjective "Czech" (cesky) refers to the Czech country, people, etc. So there is a significant difference between these two words in the Czech language. When referring to people, the word "Bohemians" was never used by the local Czech population. That is documented, for example, in the Chronicle of Dalimil written in Czech at the beginning of the 14th century. Wikipedia has an entry for Bohemian, which is fairly good (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian). For the curious, you can also browse the references to Bohemia, History of Czech Lands, Czech language, and of course the controversial Czechia/Cesko reference under the Czech Republic section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Czech_lands http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Republic Enjoy, Honza ETM wrote: > Is this a true statement? > > "In the Czech language, there is no distinction between the adjectives Bohemian and Czech (ceský)."
