Modern Slovak nationhood begins with a grammar book. The Catholic priest Anton Bernolák had already standardised a written Slovak in 1787, built on the western dialects around Trnava; it never quite caught on, but it proved the thing could be done. In February 1843 Ľudovít Štúr, together with Jozef Miloslav Hurban and Michal Miloslav Hodža, agreed to build a common standard on the central Slovak dialects instead — spoken in the middle of the country, and acceptable to Lutherans and Catholics alike. The first newspaper printed in that new written language appeared in 1845 and Štúr's grammar in 1846. Every Slovak sentence written since — including the one you are reading in the Slovak version of this page — descends from that decision.Moderný slovenský národ sa začína gramatikou. Katolícky kňaz Anton Bernolák kodifikoval spisovnú slovenčinu už roku 1787 a postavil ju na západoslovenských nárečiach z okolia Trnavy; celkom sa neujala, ale ukázala, že sa to dá. Vo februári 1843 sa Ľudovít Štúr spolu s Jozefom Miloslavom Hurbanom a Michalom Miloslavom Hodžom dohodol, že spoločný spisovný jazyk postavia radšej na stredoslovenských nárečiach — hovorilo sa nimi v strede krajiny a boli prijateľné pre evanjelikov aj katolíkov. Prvé noviny v tejto novej reči vyšli roku 1845, Štúrova gramatika roku 1846. Každá slovenská veta napísaná odvtedy — aj tá, ktorú práve čítate — pochádza z toho rozhodnutia.
