Comments for the name Matej

Comments for MATEJ:

It is a mistake to connect Matej (Slovak) and Matìj (Czech) with Matthew (the Evangelist) instead of Matthias (the Apostle replacing Judas). Matthew is Matouš (Czech) or Matúš (Slovak). [noted -ed]

This is not about pronunciation, but there's no proper cathegory for my comment.
"Matej" is written with wedge above E - in Czech it's quite a difference between E and Ě, it sometimes changes the meaning. Sorry if you're not able to write it corectly because of the coding of the site.
