Vnitní

Vnitní is a Czech language term used as an adjective meaning internal or inside. In contemporary standard Czech the corresponding form is vnitřní; Vnitní appears mainly as an older or dialectal spelling, and is sometimes encountered in historical texts, philological works, or as a component of toponyms in some regional names. In dictionaries, Vnitní is typically described as an archaic or variant form of vnitřní.

In usage, when writing or speaking in modern Czech, one would normally use vnitřní in compounds such as vnitřní orgány (internal organs), vnitřní prostor (interior space), or vnitřní strana (inner side). The meaning is the same: relating to the inside or interior of something; contrasts with vnější (external).

The term derives from the root vnitř- meaning interior, shared with other Slavic languages as cognates for inner. The orthographic variant without diacritic on ř is seen in older texts, and in some dialects or regional spellings.
