My country's traditional clothes doodled. Chose the regions that I draw the least often hah.

The Kurpianki from Kurpie Zielone have their Kurpie Białe counterparts

(in honour of the town I work in)

hmm...

Myszyniec

Every year we go to say goodbye to storks, this year in the vicinity of Myszyniec. There because the Mazovian province has the most storks in its northern part. But also because it’s nice there and about it in my photoblog / Co  roku jeździmy żegnać bociany, w tym roku w okolice Myszyńca. Tam bo w województwie Mazowieckim najwięcej bocianów najwięcej w jego północnej  części. Ale też dlatego, że tam ładnie i o tym w moim fotoblogu.

more / więcej…

A few months ago, I went with my family to see a folk band contest. At some point, I saw a group of teenage girls in traditional clothing... and carrying perfectly modern backpacks. Needless to say, I got inspired.

Understandability between Polish and other Slavic languages

by NRohirrim

Understandability of Polish with other Slavic languages

Polish language - red:

virtually every citizen of Poland living in Poland knows it

Těšín / Cieszyn area in Czech Republic bordering with Poland

few villages in North-Western Slovakia (although there language is somewhere inbetween Polish and Slovakian)

South-Eastern Lithuania and North-Western Belarus (with Belarusian language influence)

2 dots for major Polish minorities (outside of historical habitat) in London and Berlin

Mutually Intelligible (how many sentences out of 100 you can totally understand when spoken with normal pace) - orange:

Kashubian - 98% (few counties of Northern Poland, inside Pomeranian Voivodeship)

Sorbian (Lusatian) - 97% - few municipalities in Eastern Saxony and South-Eastern Brandenburg

Silesian dialect of Czech language - 96% (Moravian-Silesian Region of North-Eastern Czechia)

Slovakian language - from 96% in the north-east of Slovakia to 95% in the south-west of Slovakia

Ukrainian language - 96% in the western quarter of Ukraine to 94% in the rest of Ukraine

Belarusian language (only some parts of Western Belarus and few municipalities in Podlaskie Voivodeship) - 95%

Understandability of other Slavic languages (how many sentences out of 100 you can pretty much understand when spoken slowly), green:

Czech Republic - 92% in the eastern part (Moravia), 90% in the western part (Bohemia)

Belarusian dialect of Russian (most of Belarus) - 90%

Russian used in Ukraine - 87-88%

Russian used in Moldova - 87%

standard Russian 85%

Slovenia 85%

North Macedonia 82%

rest of former Yugoslavia - 85% in the north-west (Zagreb) to 82% in the south-east (Niš)

Bulgaria 80%

Also included on the map dialects of Polish:

yellow - Kociewie dialect - with visible Kashubian connotations spoken in the southern part of Pomeranian Voivodeship and most nothern part Kuyavian–Pomeranian; descendant of Greater Polish dialect now replaced with standard Polish

light blue - Kurpie dialect - in the north-eastern part of Masovian Voivodeship bordering with Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (rest of Masovian dialect is mostly replaced with standard Polish)

dark blue - Poddlachian dialect - once far dialect of Masovian dialect, now sort of became dialect of its own in Podlaskie Voivodeship (rest of Masovian dialect is mostly replaced with standard Polish). Polish spoken in Belarus and Lithuania is similar to it.

brown - Poznań dialect in the area of the capital of Greater Poland Voivodeship

purple - Silesian dialect - only one of the historically large Polish language dialects yet not fully replaced by standard Polish - spoken from 20 to 60% in Opolskie Voivodeship and south-western half of Silesian Voivodeship. Polish spoken in Těšín / Cieszyn area of Czech Republic is similar to it.

pink - Góral (Highlander) dialect - surviving Lesser Polish dialect with influences from Slovak language. In the mountains of southern part of Lesser Poland Voivodeship and south-eastern quarter of Silesian Voivodeship. Polish spoken in few Slovakian villages bordering with Poland is similar to it, but with influences of Slovakian that sometimes is hard to make a difference is it still Polish or already Slovakian.

stryjeńska: what is our favourite (local or other) folklore-related thing? (folk costumes, traditional songs, style of architecture, legends…)

continuing with the easter theme - palm sunday palms in the kurpie region!

Jedną z rzeczy, które na pewno będę żałować po skończeniu szkoły podstawowej będzie to, że nigdy nie dołączyłam do naszego szkolnego zespołu ,,młode kurpie”, siedzę na holu i słyszę jak grają i śpiewają, to jest coś wspaniałego po prostu

zbyt bardzo się bałam zapytać i tego co będzie potem, a teraz w sumie to bardzo żałuję, że nigdy nawet nie spróbowałam
