I understand that there is some question as to whether Kaszubian is a language unto itself or a dialect of Polish. I am curious of the forum members' thoughts on that.

Would you say written Kashubian is a lot easier for Poles to understand than Slovak or vise-versa?

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF:

Òjcze nasz, jaczi jes w niebie,
niech sã swiãcy Twòje miono,
niech prziñdze Twòje królestwò,
niech mdze Twòja wòlô
jakno w niebie tak té¿ na zemi.
Chleba najégò pòwszednégò dôj nóm dzysô
i òdpùscë nóm naje winë,
jak i më òdpùszcziwómë naszim winowajcóm.
A nie dopùscë na nas pòkùszeniô,
ale nas zbawi òde z³égò. Amen

Otèe ná¹, ktorý si na nebesiach,
posvät’ sa meno tvoje.
Príd’ král'ovstvo tvoje.
Bud’ vôl'a tvoja
ako v nebi tak i na zemi.
Chlieb ná¹ ka¾dodenný daj nám dnes.
A odpust’ nám na¹e viny,
ako aj my odpú¹t’ame svojim vinníkom.
A neuved’ nás do poku¹enia,
ale zbav nás zlého. Amen.

LOL!!! I'm with you, Davey. I can tell the difference and can tell that Kashubian is closer to Polish than Slovak is, but I can't read any of them with any real competence.

It seems, then, that Kashubian is a different language, albeit closely related to Polish (and moreso than Slovak). Thank you all for your input. This is very interesting to me.

"There are other traditional Slavic ethnic groups inhabiting Pomerania, such as the Kociewiacy, Borowiacy, Krajniacy and others. These dialects tend to fall between Kashubian and the Polish dialects of Greater Poland and Mazovia. This might indicate that they are not only descendants of ancient Pomeranians, but also of settlers who arrived to Pomerania from Greater Poland and Masovia in the Middle Ages."

From Poznañ and Warszawa point of view Kashubian dialect is more similar to Greter Polish or Mazovian dilalects but much a little bit more different than in Lesser Poland (Kraków).

To be honest I find many similarities between Greater Poland nad Kashubia.

The other fact is that local dialect disapear in most Polish regions. Kashubians have their identity, some work hard to save local customs and it is good.

are there any conflicts between kashubians and other Poles?

or some funny stereotypes?

--------------
for example swedes make fun of sami-people (northern people with their own language) becos of their rude way of talking and their way of living and dressing..
and there are some diffrences between the two groups... even conflicts sometimes when the samis want to hunt animals which are secured by laws, and young sami poeple and young averege swedes in the north of sweden dont like each other so much..
---------------------

anything of this between kashubians and other poles?

or just stereoptypes?
