It is hard to say for sure. Both languages were changed in those ca 70 years we
were together in Czechoslovakia, but I do not think they started to unify in
any notable way. Most probably they even diverged. Both languages are so
different that some young Czech people (< 25) have problems to understand
Slovak language comfortably these days. For example we have 5 letters not
present in Czech and Czech language have 2 letters not present in Slovak
language.
