Anton Bernolak
|
 |
Born in Slanica, in the Orava region, Bernolak was the first
person to create a Slovak literary language.
He based his new language on the Western Slovak dialect.
The language used a phonetic spelling (i.e. write it as you
pronounce it) and was first used in his "Grammatica Slavica"
in 1790.

Bernolak's Slovak was used until 1851, when it was
replaced by a language developed by Ludovit Stur, based
on the Central Slovak dialect.
