Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. • Special Thanks to Oskar :) • Czejś! Mom na imie Andy. Jak siy mosz? • Hello! My name is Andy. How are you? • Let's talk about the Biecz dialect. • The Biecz dialect is the general name for a group of Lesser Polish dialects spoken in the Carpathian Foothills in the Subcarpathian and Lesser Polish Voivodeships of Poland by several groups known as the Polish Uplanders, also known as Pogórzans; including Western and Eastern Pogórzans and historically also Dolinians – together the East and West Pogórzans are one of the two main ‘mountainous’ Polish groups, the other being the Highlanders or Gorals lying to their south-west, with the main difference being Gorals living pastorally and Pogórzans agriculturally, and having less influence from Vlachs. • The two main variants of the Biecz dialect include mazurating (switching sz sounds into s) and non-mazurating (preserving sz sounds – as seen in this video), the latter resulting partly from influence by neighbouring dialects and languages, including Lemko dialects of Rusyn as the dialect spans both the region of Red Ruthenia and Lesser Poland. Other influences in the dialect resulting from its rich history include Latinate loanwords inherited from Vlachs and German loanwords absorbed with the arrival of the Forest Germans (Walddeutsche), known locally as the Deaf Germans (Głuchoniemcy/Guchóniymcy), who assimilated almost completely into the local population. • This dialect currently has no literary standard, but includes similar sounds seen in other Polish dialects. Though it is named after the town of Biecz, the features of this dialect extend roughly between Grybów in the west, Ropczyce in the north, Dynów in the east and Dukla in the south – corresponding to the areas inhabited by Pogórzans, neighbouring other Polish groups: the Sącz Lachs to the west and Krakowiaks and Rzeszowiaks to the north. The area is notable for its culture, with many wooden churches built and traditional crafts practiced, and its history includes the creation of the world’s first oil well and kerosene lamp. It is also the place where Poland’s national dish, pierogi ruskie, originated. • • This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.
