Mam o Boze o dobry pamatovat si takovy cisel rad.
Accented Text:
Ma'm o' Boz^e o' dobry' pamatovat si takovy' c^i'sel rad.
The apostrophe means length of the vowel and should be over the character.
The other sign ^ means a change of the consonant and it should be a "hacek"
(this is a Czech word used by linguists even in English),
i.e. it should be "upside down" (as a very little letter "v") and again over
the corresponding letter. The change in pronounciation is: "z^" is
pronounced as "j" in "journal", "c^" is pronounced as "cz" in "Czech".
Comment:
Its origin goes back to the times of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy,
probably the end of the last century. Its author is not known.
Translation:
Should I oh God oh gracious remember such a sequemce of numbers.
(The number of words does not correspond since in Czech it is not necessary
to use the pronoun "I" nor the article "a" and the preposition "of"; on the
other hand, the verb "remember" requires the reflexive pronoun ("si" =
"myself").
