Halcnovian(Altsnerisch/Päurisch), alternatively spelledHaltsnovian, is anEast Central German dialect spoken in the former village ofHałcnów, which is now a district ofBielsko-Biała,Silesian Voivodeship,Poland. It was the vernacular language of Hałcnów until 1945, whenethnic Germans were expelled from Poland. Some examples of the language were recorded in the works ofKarl Olma, who was active as a journalist in the Halcnovian exile community inWest Germany afterWorld War II.[1] Recently the dialect has been researched from a linguistic standpoint by Marek Dolatowski.[2][3] In 2016 researchers traced a handful of native speakers of Halcnovian still resident in Hałcnów, and recorded them in order to help preserve the language.[4] It belongs to the dialect group of the formerBielsko-Biała language island [pl;de], which includes theWymysorys language.[5]
