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.
