    Hey, greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷
    I would like to say that your video it happend to be extremely important to me and my family now. My great-grandfather Carlos (we don't know if this is his original name) was born in Silesia but when he was just a child due some family tragedy with some kind of war -my father says that he never knew exactly how to explain what happend because he had just few childhood memories in Silesia- he and his family immigrate to work in the coffe farms here in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. My father and his grandfather were very close to eachother and he tells me tha great-grandfather could speak some words in his native language and after his father and brother passed away he felt it a great desire to visit his homeland. Unfortunately he died before complete his dream, and my father never forget the promise he made it to accomplished Carlos's wish to visit Silesia and fulfill this lack of identity and bonds with our routes that exists in my family.
    I ended in your video because I have a linguistic hobby and what a great surprise! I had to translate to my dad since our native language is the brazilian portuguese, but even so he was moved, so THANK YOU for this amazing job ❤️❤️

      Also, similar Silesian names to Carlos would be Karl (more German-leaning) and Karol (frequent in Polish till this day), Silesian derivatives would be Kareł, Karlik, Karliczek, Lusik. Also "Karlus" (which probably comes from Karl) means "strong man" lol

    I'm a descendant of some of the upper silesian's that came to Texas in the 19th century and recently just been spurred for some reason into looking into it a lot since I think they'd be sad that we aren't really connected to that identity anymore, and I personally am upset that I'm not.

    Hi, I read through your comment on this video and find it weird that you don't have many Silesian people to talk to in Germany. I am Silesian and still living here, part of my family moved to Germany in the early 90s. It was quite a popular destination. They speak Silesian and aren't switching to regular Polish. Nowadays not that many young people speak to each other in Silesian as we grow up with Polish in school etc. and there's many migrants from other parts of Poland here. But you do hear the accent and Silesian speech too. I think that in Germany you would find Silesian-speaking people in Polish population of 50+ years. It's likely though that they might speak a bit differently than your parents cause there is a wide variety due to lack of systemic teaching.
    BTW in 4:14 - "Czy ty jesteś w domu?" does not sound natural. A Polish person would just ask "Jesteś w domu?". We don't use "czy" in informal speech that often. The sentence "Czy ty jesteś w domu?" looks perfectly natural though if said with kind of disdain, meaning "why are you at home, you are not supposed to be at home". As for the Silesian, I would not ask "Jeżeś ty w domu?" but "Jeżeś ty doma?".

  • @kromek_jga

    I am convinced that if Silesia had not been taken over by Prussia and in 18'th century stayed with the Habsburgs, in 1918 it was possible that it would become an independent country! Why?
    Until 1742 was an ordinary, natural development of German culture due to the influx of people from Germany (and also from the Netherlands). It was happening peacefully and natural. But it was not deliberate Germanization and it proceeded relatively slowly. Too slow for it to make one language completely dominant over the other. The inhabitants did not consider themselves Germans, Poles or Austrians, but Silesians. If not for a certain event in history, today Silesia would be a bilingual region, or even a language linking German and Polish (similar to the present "ślonska godka")
    But when Silesia was occupied by Prussia (1742), King Frederick the Great forbade the use of languages ​​other than German in official life. Teaching and sermons in Polish were forbidden. Priests and pastors, teachers and officials had to speak only German.
    Until the 19th century, many people in Silesia still used the Polish language (It was a Silesian dialect of the Polish language). There was an entire Polish districts in Wrocław (Breslau). In 18th century it was a bilingual city. Around the Wrocław, every village spoke only Polish. Even in the 19th century, the Prussian administration was dissatisfied, because Polish was still used in Lower Silesia.
    Many Poles lived in the towns north of Opole (Oppeln), it can be seen in cemeteries, where half of the old (pre-war) graves have Polish surnames.
    For example look at this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Zakaz_kollektowania.jpg It is a Prussian document in Polish (!) for the residents of Wrocław and rest of Silesia from...1743 forbidding gathering.. This is just one small example.
    From 1742 the activity of the Prussian and then German authorities was precisely targeted Germanization. Strong in the 19th and especially in the 1930's in 20th centuries, when the Polish-sounding names of the place were changed to German-sounding. That is why in Lower Silesia, before the Second World War, all of them considered themselves Germans, not Silesians or Poles or Czechs.
    An interesting fact is that in 1918 the Allies considered the possibility of establishing an independent Silesia, independent of Germany, Poland and Czechia. Unfortunately, too many people considered themselves Germans and not Silesians, and the idea fell very quickly.

      Most Germans had a regional identity back then and that included Silesian. One of the many reasons why Germans remained silent about it was because they didn't have such strong feelings for other regions. Most people also spoke dialects. The German language became a common thing among all Germans only from the 50th on. Silesians back then spoke Germanic Silesian only.

    Greetings. I disagree with calling Silesian a Polish dialect. Silesian is a literary language: there's a lot of written Silesian content, be it websites, books, songs, movie subtitles, game localisations, etc. It's not a colloquial version of Polish. Silesian also falls into the Slavic microlanguages, or minority Slavic languages. I also speak a minority Slavic language, Siberian (сибирской говор, sibirskoj govor). Even though the Muscovites have been destroying regional dialects and impose everyone Moscow Russian ever since the Soviet era, some dialects survived to this day and three minority Slavic languages, which are the result of certain dialects' codification, appeared (Siberian, Pomor, and Don/Cossack).
    I'd say the minority Slavic languages of Poland (Kashubian, Silesian, Masurian) are way more successful compared to the minority Slavic languages of Russia. At least the Poles don't try to call e.g. Silesian a «conlang» like the Russian imperialists do against Siberian. Keep in mind they used to call Ukrainian and Belarusian the same way a century ago.
    Anyway, would you be willing to collaborate? I'm looking for speakers of other minority Slavic languages. Our minority languages are overlooked way more often compared to e.g. Turkic and Finno-Ugric ones, and we should work together. I already got in touch with some speakers of Pomor, Don, Silesian, Kashubian, Masurian, Moravian, Polesian, Kajkavian, so it'd be great if we got in touch via Discord for example.

      Pierwszym znanym z imienia ludem zamieszkującym Śląsk byli Celtowie, którzy przybyli na początku IV wieku p.n.e.
      Szereg autorów starożytnych (Strabon, Pliniusz, Tacyt, Ptolemeusz, Kasjusz Dion) wspomina lud Lugiów, umieszczając go w I - II w. n.e. na obszarze dzisiejszej Polski środkowej i południowej. Według Henryka Łowmiańskiego spośród plemion lugijskich wymienionych przez Tacyta, Helizjowie (Helisii) mieli zamieszkiwać na północ od środkowej Odry, koło Kalisza, zaś Manimowie (Manimi) na Opolszczyźnie, a Naharwalowie (Naharvali) wokół góry Ślęży.
      W IV wieku rozpoczęła się wielka wędrówka ludów. Od połowy VII w. obszar Śląska znalazł się w zasięgu ekspansji słowiańskiej. Późniejsze źródła historyczne (m.in. Geograf Bawarski, Dokument praski) wymieniają z nazwy następujące plemiona: na zachodzie Dziadoszanie wraz z Bobrzanami nad rzeką Bóbr, dalej Ślężanie wokół Ślęży, Trzebowianie na północ od nich, Opolanie na wschód, Golęszyce w dorzeczu górnej Odry oraz Głubczycy na południowym wschodzie.
