Remarks: There have been a number of activities to revitalise the language recently, many of them directly borne by the translator of this book. A short documentation in the "Schlesien Journal" gives an interesting insight into the culture of Wilamowice (Wymysoü) and the initial work of Tymoteusz Król. An online version of the book can be found here. |

Wymysorys (Wymysiöeryś [IPA: vɨmɨɕœ̯ɛrɪɕ]), also known as Vilamovian, is a West Germanic language spoken by the Vilamovian minority in the town of Wilamowice, Poland (Wymysoü in Wymysorys), on the border between Silesia and Lesser Poland, near Bielsko-Biała. It is considered a critically endangered language as there are probably less than 70 native users of Wymysorys. See Wikipedia for more information. |
