Bohemian dialects ( Czech: Česká nářečí or Česká nářeční skupina) are the dialects of the Czech language spoken in Bohemia and parts of Western Moravia. The Bohemian dialect group is divided into three subgroups, namely Southwestern Bohemian dialects, Central Bohemian dialects and Northeastern Bohemian dialects. [1] [2] [3] A transitional Bohemian–Moravian dialect also exists, spoken in a small area between the Bohemian and Central Moravian dialect groups. [2] The Central Bohemian dialects provide the phonological basis for the interdialect known as Common Czech (obecná čeština), [4] which is now spoken throughout most of Bohemia. By the 1960s, regionally marked features of Bohemian Czech were largely restricted to dialects spoken on the fringes of the Czech-speaking area, and many were only used by older speakers. [5]
Southwestern Bohemian dialects (jihozapadočeská nářečí) were traditionally spoken south-west of a line running from Kralovice through Rokycany to Písek, and south of the area from Písek to the Moravian border, [6] thus including the cities of Plzeň and České Budějovice. [1]
