It has later adopted two distinct connotations, the first being the aforementioned supra-ethnic meaning, and the second as a general term for all citizens of the former Czechoslovakia regardless of ethnicity.

[citation needed] The Czech–Slovak language group was summarized under the term "Bohemian–Moravian–Slovak" (Böhmisch-Mährisch-Slowakisch) in the Austrian census of Cisleithania beginning in the 1880s.

František Palacký, Ján Kollár and Karel Havlíček Borovský have already begun to promote the concept of a united nation in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown and in Slovakia (Upper Hungary).

Only then did the population begin to abandon the idea (the concept of Czechoslovakism officially applied until 1948).

[citation needed] According to the results of the 1910 census, 6,435,983 members of the Czech-Moravian-Slovak language were found in Cisleithania.
