The geographic isolation of Podhale, the Tatra Mountain region in Southern Poland, contributed to the preservation of the Polish language of those days when all Slavic languages, coming from the same source, differed less from each other. Dictionary with an appendix of some sayings and riddles.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"As a proud American of Polish goral descent, I am delighted that Jan Gutt-Mostowy from Poronin in Podhale prepared a Polish-Goral-English dictionary. It is obviously a labour of love that will elicit appreciation and recognition; it allows the richness and beauty of the gwara goralska to become more available to the English-speaking world. Hippocrene Books should be commended for backing this unique project..." -- Dr Thaddeus V Gromada.

Goralski Help,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Polish Highlander Polish English Dictionary (Paperback)
This is a great little book which is must have if your are studying the Highlanders from the Tatra Mountain's area. They have there own way of describing certain things and usually it only takes one word most of the time. Now I understand why most people had a hard time understanding my father when he spoke in the old language of the Górale. This book has helped me in my genealogy research when those strange words appear ever so often.

Really Good,
This review is from: Polish Highlander Polish English Dictionary (Paperback)
I thought this book was really informative and had a lot of details. the only problem with it though is it was missing many important words and it could have been written a little bit better. it did give very precisive definitions though.
