The Czech language is written using the Roman (Latin) alphabet. To represent sounds specific to the Czech language that are not present in Latin, diacritical marks are used, such as the haček (ˇ), which is a Czech borrowing meaning "little hook". This system of using diacritics was influenced by the orthographic innovations of the religious reformer Jan Hus.1234
