Summary/Abstract: The paper gives a brief summary of the Czech contribution to the Carpathian Linguistic Atlas (CLA) project: a) the priority of the idea of the CLA itself (Vašek, The Vth International Congress of Slavists, Sophia, 1963); b) the dual linguistic influence of the Carpathian pastoral colonization (CPC) on the language of the local Carpathian settlement as a vital specific feature of the colonization (Vašek, La colonisation et la langue, Brno, 1964); c) the main character of the CLA is a linguistic one (Vašek, International Carpathological Symposium, Problemy karpatskogo jazykoznanija, Moskva, 1973); d) the written proposal to establish the Research Committee on Slavonic Language Contacts at the International Board of Slavists (Vašek, The VIth International Congress of Slavists, Warsaw—Lomža, 1973); e) the proposal of the original double scaled blank map of the CLA (Vašek and Marešová, Brno, The IXth Meeting of the International Board of Editors of the CLA, Moscow, 1981) and the printing of this map in Czechoslovakia (Vašek and Marešová, The Geographical Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, Brno, 1982). The bad political situation caused that the Czech national center in Brno was not allowed to publish (at least one) map volume of the CLA or even to organize (at least one) international meeting of the IBE.
