The official language of the Czech Republic is Czech (česky) - a highly complex Slav tongue. Czech sounds and looks daunting, but apart from a few special letters, each letter and sound is pronounced as it is written - the key is to stress the first syllable of a word. If you have any knowledge of Polish or Russian you will be able to understand many written words. Any attempt to speak Czech will be heartily appreciated, although English is spoken by many involved in the tourist trade. Below are a few words that may be helpful.
