Michal Miloslav Hodža

Michal Miloslav Hodža ( born September 22, 1811 in Raksa, Kingdom of Hungary, now Slovakia, † March 26, 1870 in Cieszyn, Austrian Silesia ) was a Slovak politician, a Lutheran minister, poet, linguist, representatives of the Slovak national movement in the 1840s and member of the "Three group " Stur - Hodža - Hurban.

He was one of the organizers of the Slovak cultural life in the 1840s: for example, he was the chairman of the association Tatrín. In the revolutions of 1848/49 he was a leader ( with Stur and Hurban ) of antimagyarischen Slovak uprising.

Hodža was also involved in the codification of the Slovak language standard. At the beginning of the 1830s he invested the biblical Czech language, but then he supported the central Slovak dialect based on the standard language of Stur, although he had different opinions on some areas of the spelling. His designs were finally accepted in 1852 and codified by Martin Hattala. This standard applies with several changes until today.

In his honor, today the streets and squares in several Slovak towns named námestie place Hodžovo in the capital Bratislava is the Grassalkovich, today the seat of the Slovak president.
