Drawing on Boas's model for interviewing speakers of the language and digitally cataloging the dialects, John Tomecek founded and Lida Cope of East Carolina University developed the Texas Czech Legacy Project at the University of Texas at Austin to document and preserve the dwindling language.<ref name = "utaustin2010">{{Cite web

Because the majority of Texas immigrants came from Moravia, the Czech spoken in Texas is largely characterized by Moravian dialects ([[Lach dialects|Lachian]] and [[Moravian dialects#Eastern Moravian|Moravian Wallachian]]) which vary to some extent from the Bohemian dialects spoken by most Czech-Americans. Czech-language journalism has been very active in the state over the years. Thirty-three newspapers and periodicals have been published. As of 1993 one weekly newspaper, ''Našinec'', published at [[Granger, Texas|Granger]], and one monthly, ''Hospodář'', published at [[West, Texas|West]], were still being published entirely in Czech. Other periodicals such as ''Věstník'' and the ''Brethren Journal'' contained sections printed in Czech.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book
