Slovak/Czech/German

According to IMDb the language is Slovak/Czech/German. Slovak Wiki qualifies the movie as Czech (even if turned on location in Slovakia). It was produced by Barrandov. Xx236 07:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correct Barrandov Studios was the filming location, Barrandov is an area in present day Prague, Czech Republic. John Doe or Jane Doe 11:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The film is in Slovak (two sentences in German, if any, do not mean the language is German). And in terms of the country of origin, the film was Czechoslovak, because that's the name of the country. And the Slovak wiki does not have an article on the film (If you found it in a list, then the list has been copied from the Czech wiki without corrections) Juro 19:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can correct the IMDb entry. Xx236 07:11, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Czech

It's mostly in Czech with some actors speaking in slovak but I would prefer to clasify it as both because at that time much like now many people in the one/two contry(ies) speak either or both Czech and Slovak. There is only small diferances between the two languages and most people from either country can understand each other. John Doe or Jane Doe 11:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not a single word is in either Czech, or German. The entire dialogue is in Slovak. Ida Kamińska's Polish accent is adjusted to resemble the eastern regional variety of Slovak where the film was shot on location. Carca220nne 05:11, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Not a single word is in either Czech, or German." - Yet, Lautmannová says "Ich verstehe nicht" after looking through the window at the Jews rounded up on the street. Jan Winnicki * 17:17, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
