Czechoslovakians

Definition

People who were citizens of or came from Czechoslovakia, the former country in Central Europe.

Etymology

Plural of Czechoslovakian, from the compound nation name Czechoslovakia (Czech + Slovak). Used to refer to the diverse population of the unified country between 1918 and 1992.

Kelly Says

Czechoslovakians included multiple ethnic groups—Czechs, Slovaks, Ruthenians, and others—which is why the country eventually split, as different groups wanted their own nations.
