Cieszyn dialect (7) within Silesian dialects (according to Alfred Zaręba)
A Cieszyn Silesian dialect speaker, recorded in the Czech Republic.Rest in peace grave inscription in Cieszyn Silesian dialect.
The Cieszyn Silesian dialect or Teschen Silesian dialect[2] (Cieszyn Silesian: cieszyńsko rzecz;[3] Polish: gwara cieszyńska or narzecze cieszyńskie; Czech: těšínské nářečí; Silesian: ćeszyński djalekt) is one of the Silesian dialects. It has its roots mainly in Old Polish and also has strong influences from Czech and German and, to a lesser extent, from Vlach and Slovak. It is spoken in Cieszyn Silesia, a region on both sides of the Polish-Czech border. It remains mostly a spoken language. The dialect is better preserved today than traditional dialects of many other West Slavic regions.[4]
On the Czech side of the border (in Trans-Olza) it is spoken mainly by the Polish minority,[5] where it was and still is strongly influenced mainly by Czech (mainly lexicon and syntax).[6] It is used to reinforce a feeling of regional solidarity.[7]
Polish and Czech linguists differ in their views on the classification of the dialect. Most Czech linguists make a distinction between the dialect as spoken in Czechia and in Poland, and classify the dialect spoken on the Czech side of the border as a "mixed Czech-Polish dialect",[8] a designation already used in the 19th century. Polish linguists tend to classify the language on both sides of the border under the Silesian dialects of Polish.[9] Although the dialect has its roots mainly in Polish (phonology and morphology are consistently shared with Polish),[6] the diachronic development of the dialect is of a transitional nature.[4]
