On the future of the project

Obraz
  My books written in Goral  Hello, I would like to talk about the future of this site and address a few problems. I have noticed that it has gained some popularity online due to many factors. I probably won't be continuing this site or at least not in the same way as before. I was thinking of changing the site into a blog about the Goral dialects and Gorals in general. It's simply very hard and time consuming to try create lessons for a understudied microlanguage. If you want to learn Goral then I recommend 2 things  a) learn Polish or Slovak. It will help you with recourses.  b) use dictionaries from your region. They usually have a sound list and grammar difference list too. I also recommend joining the Góralscýzna discord server as we have speakers of many dialects and I posted a bunch of recourses there.  What dialect in particular am I using on the website?  One must keep in mind that Goral is usually classified as a plethora of related dialects under a common name and l

What is Goral and who are the Gorals?

Obraz
The Goral flag     What is Goral? Goral is the term used for the Polish dialects spoken by the Gorals.There are many varieties of Goral that are all mutually inteligible. The Podhale dialect is the de facto standard literary Goral dialect due to Podhale being the most famously known region however, the majority of Gorals speak really closely related dialects.Gorals themselves rarely differentiate between their dialects and just refer to them as Górolski.This is the dialect you will be taught here. Now about the orthography.To put it short there is no standard.Isn't that neat?All those rules you had to memorize in school like aren't needed here.A similar situation is with the alphabet however the Gwara Góralsko Skolnego Podholo is the leading one online.It is based off the alphabet used in the book Sabała by Andrzej Stopka Nazimek.
