[Also tzaritza, 〈 Ru . tsaritsa, empre , Hung. Cseh ), a Czech.] 1. A member of the most westerly branch of the great Slavic family of races, the term including the Bohemians, or Czechs proper, the Moravians, and the Slovaks. They number nearly 7,000,000, and live chiefly in Bohemia, Moravia, and northern Hungary.-2. The language of the Czechs, usually called Bohemian. It is closely allied to the Polish.

(See the terms used and the letters referred to.) It is generally called a "dental," but with only a conventional propriety, since the teeth bear no part in its production. It involves a closure of the tip of the tongue against the roof of the mouth at a point near to, or even touching, the upper front teeth (while an intonated or voiced current of air is driven during the closure into the cavity of the mouth, as in the case of the other sonant mutes); it is, then, rather a tongue-tip sound, or a front lingual. Sounds closely akin to it are made with different parts of the front tongue against different parts of the forward palate; hence the dis somewhat variously colored in various languages, and in some there diverse dis, or even more than two. The das belonging to the fundamental or Germanic part of our language, has taken the place of a more original aspirate, namely, Sanskrit dh, Greek 6, Latin oftenest f: thus, English door = Sanskrit dhura = Greek θύρα = Latin fores. Its regular correspondent in German ist: thus, tor (usually written thor ) = English door; but, under special conditions, also a d: thus, German ende = English end; German gold = Eng lish gold. The German d regularly corresponds to English th. (See th.) Our d has no variety of values; it is, ever, not seldom made surd, or pronounced as t, as in pick ed, tipped, ki ed, and the like, being in older words of this kind a substitute, for mechanical uniformity of spelling, for earlier t; mi ed being formerly mist, miste, AngloS axon miste; ki ed, formerly kist, kiste, Anglo-Saxon cyste, etc. See-di = -ed1, d2 = -ed2. 2. As a numeral, in the Roman system, D stands for 500; when a dash or stroke is placed over it, as D, it stands for 5,000.-3. As a symbol: (a) In music: (1) The second tone, or re, of the scale of C.

(2) A note which represents this tone. On the treble staff D stands on the first added space below, or on the fourth line (a); and on the ba staff it stands on the third line, or on the second added space above (b). When other clefs are used, the position of D is different. See clef.
