Phonology
There is no section of this article on phonology which is very important in terms of language 2A00:23C7:588B:CA01:5177:ECE8:8B83:1098 (talk) 00:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Not Czechoslovak variety
The source cited for putting Silesian within the Czech-Slovak group was Glottolog, which is a tertiary source like Wikipedia.

The sources cited by Glottolog itself do not seem to support the claim that it belongs to the Czech-Slovak bloc of West Slavic, but rather class it as a Lechitic variety, either as its own language (at the same rank as Polish and Kashubian) or subsumed within Polish.

I have removed the statement in the leading section of the article about Silesian being a Czech-Slovak variety, as it does not seem to be supported by valid sources. saɪm duʃan Talk|Contribs 09:13, 3 July 2023 (UTC)


 * @Saimdusan I will note that probably the thing referenced is a lect in the Czech republic also sometimes called Silesian - however the vast majority of the time people are referring to the variety spoken in Poland, which has very clear phonetic reflexes from this specific branch, in particular most people claim it comes from Old Polish or even Middle Polish (though more often Old Polish), and this is how it is handled on Wiktionary.

Request move to Silesian dialect
Silesian is a dialect of Polish, not a language. Aside from loanwords from German, it is practically a relic of Old Polish. FeldmarschallGneisenau (talk) 03:30, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
