Who led the codification of the modern standard Slovak language in 1843 and 1844, based on the central Slovak dialect?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Ľudovít Štúr
- Step 1: Several Slovak standards existed before the modern one. Step 2. In 1843 Štúr, Hurban and Hodža agreed on the central Slovak dialect, and Štúr described the rules in 1846. Answer: Ľudovít Štúr. Why not the others: Bernolák's standard of 1787 was based on the western dialect, and Kollár and Hviezdoslav did not codify the language.
