Czech Language
Czech (; Czech ), historically also Bohemian (; ''lingua Bohemica'' in Latin), is a West Slavic language of the Czech–Slovak group, written in Latin script. Spoken by over 10 million people, it serves as the official language of the Czech Republic. Czech is closely related to Slovak, to the point of high mutual intelligibility, as well as to Polish to a lesser degree. Czech is a fusional language with a rich system of morphology and relatively flexible word order. Its vocabulary has been extensively influenced by Latin and German. The Czech–Slovak group developed within West Slavic in the high medieval period, and the standardization of Czech and Slovak within the Czech–Slovak dialect continuum emerged in the early modern period. In the later 18th to mid-19th century, the modern written standard became codified in the context of the Czech National Revival. The main non-standard variety, known as Common Czech, is based on the vernacular of Prague, but is now spoken as an ...

Rheintal/Walgau Autobahn
The Rheintal/Walgau Autobahn (A14) is a motorway in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. It begins directly after the German Bundesautobahn 96 at the German-Austrian border near Hörbranz, passes through the Pfändertunnel past Bregenz into the Rhine Valley, through the Ambergtunnel past Feldkirch into the Walgau and ends at Bludenz, becoming the Arlberg Schnellstraße (S16). Until 2006, the official name of the A14 was only ''Rheintal Autobahn''. In Vorarlberg, the name ''Rheintal Autobahn'' was only used for the part of the A14 in the Rhine Valley (i.e. the route Hörbranz-Feldkirch), while the part located in the Walgau (Feldkirch-Bludenz) was unofficially referred to as the ''Walgau Autobahn''. History Prehistory and plans Already in the mid-1930s, traffic planners recognized that the rapidly increasing motorized traffic would be too much for existing roads. A first study was commissioned before the Nazi era and had the title HaFraBa (motorway Hanseatic cities- ...
