The Moravian Diet (Latin: Moraviae generali colloquio; Czech: Moravský zemský sněm; earlier Moravský stavovský sněm; German: Mährisch-ständische Landtag) was the legislature[1] of Moravia, the Diet, or general assembly, of the Estates of the Margraviate of Moravia. It emerged from earlier informal assemblies, known as the Moravian corporate Diet (or Diet of estates of the Moravian Lands).
