Czechoslovaks (Czech: Čechoslováci; Slovak: Československá národnosť) is a designation that was originally designed to refer to a united panethnicity of ethnic Czechs and Slovaks. It has later adopted two distinct connotations, the first being the aforementioned supra-ethnic meaning, and the second as a general term for all citizens of the former Czechoslovakia regardless of ethnicity. Cultural and political advocates of Czechoslovak identity have historically ascribed the identity to be applicable to all people of Czech and Slovak heritage both in the country and in the diaspora.
Since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and the establishment of Czech and Slovak nation states, the term ethnic Czechoslovaks has been used to refer to those who exclusively view themselves as Czechoslovaks with no other ethnic self-identification, many of these being of mixed ancestry.[citation needed]
The Czech–Slovak language group was summarized under the term "Bohemian–Moravian–Slovak" (Böhmisch-Mährisch-Slowakisch) in the Austrian census of Cisleithania beginning in the 1880s.[1]
The Czechoslovak language was an attempt to create a single written standard, first proposed during the national revival in the 1830s and the official language of the First Czechoslovak Republic from 1920–1938.
Beginning in the 1990s, a political movement of Moravian linguistic separatism has developed.
[2] On the occasion of 2011 Census of the Czech Republic, several Moravian organizations (Moravané and Moravian National Community among others) led a campaign to promote the Moravian nationality and language. The 2011 census recorded 62,908 native speakers of Moravian.[3] In 2021, the proportion of Moravians increased to 4.99% of the population and further 2.5% declared shared Czech and Moravian affiliation.
