move the page from "Masurian language" to Masurian dialect, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 08:28, 16 November 2007 (UTC) It's a dialect, only some German radicals claim it to be a language.Xx236 08:40, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your joke, but no academic source claims it's a language. Xx236 08:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Support, per scholary usage.--Molobo 22:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Using "language" in the title is a stretch. If there were really some controversy, Masurian (linguistics) along the lines of Cantonese (linguistics) might work but in this case, "dialect" fits the bill. —  AjaxSmack   21:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Other
I don't know anything about Masurian, but it seems to me that this page could have a Polish nationalist POV.

My God, what is your problem. You Germans don't know when to quit. Please stop. --~

This article should be rewritten, it completely misinforms.Xx236 10:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm. The article states that the Germans treated them as Poles, tried to force a seperate identity upon them and Germanize them. They only voted against Poland because of a falsified vote and lies about a collapse of Poland. Then, after all these humiliations and mistreatment by Germany für almost 100 years, these people have the chance to live with Poles in Poland, ...but most of them leave Poland in just a few years and go to Germany??? Sorry, but something escapes me here. They prefer to live with the oppressor? This should be explained. Karasek (talk) 20:13, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

There is a bunch of history stuff here. What about the dialect and its distinctive features?

Case
The noun used to illustrate inflection for case is not identified. What does it mean? Also, if this dialect is like other Slavic languages, there are probably multiple inflectional paradigms for different classes of nouns.Bill (talk) 04:19, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
