Wymysorys: A #language that refuses to #disappear
To German ears, it sounds strangely familiar, yet incomprehensible – somewhat like an old, isolated dialect with many loanwords.
Wilamowicean, known locally as Wymysorys, was nurtured for centuries in the closed community of Wilamowice, a small town in southern Poland. World War II nearly silenced it entirely, but today, local activists are fighting for the official recognition of this regional language.
Watch the special report by Karolina Jaźwińska to discover the fascinating story behind this language and explore the remarkable details that have shaped its history.
