Summary/Abstract: Dialects of the Czech national language were examined according to a unified program for the fi rst time aft er 1879. That year, the paper Navedení pro sběratele (Manual for Collectors) was published; its part Obecná řeč (Common Speech) is considered to be the fi rst questionnaire for research of Czech dialects. Th e experience and results obtained during this action were also used in further exploration of dialects. Territorially most extensive research was carried out by a correspondence inquiry at the turn of the 40s and 50s of the 20th century. It was followed by preliminary works for Český jazykový atlas (the Czech Linguistic Atlas): selection of phenomena for Dotazník pro výzkum českých nářečí (the Questionnaire for research of Czech dialects), creation of a network of examined localities, direct fi eld research in which Janusz Siatkowski took part as well, in localities with older Czech settlement in the Strzelin region. Since 2011, the material gained via mail inquiries and the research for the Czech Linguistic Atlas is used for entries of the national Slovník nářečí českého jazyka (the Dictionary of Czech Dialects).
