History

At the beginning of the 15th century religious reformer Jan Hus devised a diacritical writing system , to differentiate the Czech alphabet from Latin. By placing diacritical marks over some of the Latin letters, he was able to distinguish the Czech palatal consonants and long vowels. The palatal consonants were created by placing a grapheme over the letters d and t, and a hacek (an upside down circumflex) over the letters c, n, r, s and z. The palatal long vowels were created by placing an acute accent above the letters a, e, i, o, u and y.
