BERNOLÁK, ANTON. - Slovak Catholic priest and philologist, b. at Slanica on 4 Oct. 1762, d. at Nové Zámky on 15 Jan. 1813.
His works are: Dissertatio philologico-critica de litteris Slavorum (1787); Grammatica slavica ad systema scholarum nationalium accomodata (1790); Lexicon slavicumbohemico-lat, 6 vols., published after his death in Budapest in 1825-27. He must be considered the founder of the Slovak literary language, having adopted the western Slovak dialect spoken in the vicinity of Trnava, in which he was followed by the Catholics, while the Protestants maintained the use of Czech. For the diffusion of culture among the people and for the advancement of the language he created the Učené Slovenské Tovaryžstvo (Societas erudita slovacca), in which he gathered a great number of men of letters.
