Before WWII a high percentage of the population spoke German (Franz Kafka was a Czech and all his works were written in German) mainly because they identified themselves with the Germans.
Soon after the war was over, it could be very dangerous speak in German
They currently speak almost exclusively Czech.

Czech is an official language of Czech Republic. But a lot of people there are able to speak other languages also besides Czech, like English, German etc. depending on their background and education.

official language is Czech, which belongs to Slavic Languages. But if there is at least 30% of minority (any), they have to provide schools and bilingual names on forms, stores, maps etc...for example eastern region in the Czech republic has Polish minority, there are Polish schools, and lots of people are bilingual, same in the west part, there are people living and speaking German. Other living on the borders with Slovakia speak Slovak. But official language is Czech. Obviously many of Czech people speak many different languages. It is a phenomenon...if youlive in Europe, at least one worl laguage is a must.
