... are wymysorys & north-eastern scots actually mutually intelligible? to, like, a noteworthy degree? like, more so than frisian & wymysorys? or, like, english & wymysorys? "well faithe why don't you read some and find out for yourself" doesn't work here bc: • i don't speak any kind of frisian or scots so idk how to judge • things i imagine should trip me up don't since... i'm familiar enough with polish to, for instance, automatically read ł as /w/. as a general rule, if i'm reading something in not-English & come across things like w close to things like sz/cz/ci/ć/ś/ż/ń, my brain switches to Mind The Polish Pronunciation on its own first & then adjusts once i notice it

wełt is pretty much "wewt" which isn't pronounced like the "wewt" we used to write to indicate a semisarky unenthused "w00t" (but that doesn't mean i find this fact any less giggleworthy)

Researchers will help to preserve the Wymysorys language

It is the first language for only about 30 people - residents of the town Wilamowice. Although it formed in the mid-thirteenth century, today it is threatened with extinction. Researchers from the University of Warsaw started a project to save Wymysorys from oblivion.

Researchers from the "Artes Liberales" program of the University of Warsaw started work on a three-year project to save Wymysorys from oblivion. "This is one of the most endangered ethnolects in Europe. It is the first spoken language of about 30 people living in Wilamowice in the south of Poland. Today, every third child in Wilamowice learns the native language during extracurricular classes in school" - informs the University of Warsaw.

Thanks to the involvement of scientists and the local community, the language that dates back to the thirteenth century has a chance to survive. Read more.
