Hello, I am a Serb and am currently learning Czech, I'm pretty familiar with other Slavic languages and I thought I knew what Polish sounds like. Today, I saw a video of what sounded like Ukrainian or some other East Slavic language but the words weren't East Slavic, I opened the comments to discover it's actually Polish. What kind of dialect is?

  1. I can’t identify the dialect (completely not my department), but the way he pronounces the ł seems to be similar to the Borderlands pronounciation. The issue with that is that most of the speakers have been deported by USSR into the post-war Polish borders. This could be east side of the country, or it could be anywhere within the Recovered Territories.

  2. I can hear some szadzenie, which is a phenomenon typical of the transitional area between dialects that exhibit mazurzenie and those that do not. The way they pronounce ł is also distinct. My guess would be Suwałki or possibly other areas along the Belarusian border.

    But I’m not even Polish, so maybe someone will have a better answer…

  3. I’m not good with dialects, but I know this video. Other commenters correctly identify Belarusian border, it’s happening in Podlasie.

  4. Not the west side dialect. Either some East side or not in Poland at all, although it’s a polish language.
