Which statement about the codification of Slovak by Anton Bernolák (1787) and Ľudovít Štúr (1843) is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Bernolák based his standard on the western dialect, and Štúr chose the central dialect
- Step 1: Two codifications preceded the modern language. Step 2. Bernolák's Catholic circle used the cultured western Slovak of Trnava; Štúr's group chose the central dialect, which was more widely understood. Answer: western for Bernolák, central for Štúr. Why not the others: The other options reverse or confuse the dialects.
