Yeah - If singular means distinct, and even setting aside Slovak, then Czech is part of the West Slavic language family and my Polish-speaking partner says there is a degree of mutual intelligibility.
- imp0cat 3y agoYes, they sound very similar, but (because of historical reasons) the spelling is quite different (multiple letters in Polish vs accents/diacritics in Czech).
- ufocia 3y agoThey probably sound as similar to each other as German does to Danish.
- The_Colonel 3y agoI'd say that's roughly correct. Czech and Slovak have a different sound, melody. Czechs and Slovaks tend to underestimate the differences, because they largely understand each other. But that's to a large degree thanks to a large amount of interchange and exposure. These days, many young Czechs without exposure to Slovak often understand only very little Slovak.
