Backup copy of the Silesian article (version 3)
The Silesian language or Silesian ethnolect belongs to the West Slavic branch of Slavic languages, together with Polish, Upper and Lower Sorbian, and other Lekhitic languages) as well as Czech and Slovak.
It is spoken in the region of Silesia in south-western Poland and north-eastern Czech Republic and in a coupe of place all around the world.
Sometimes it is considered not be be a separate language, but just a regional dialect of Polish.

Note:
There are two concept about Silesian ethnolect: (1) separate Western Slavonic language (similar to Polish and Czech with some German influences) or just (2) a regional dialect of Polish. As the linguists say there ae no strict definiton of what is a language, what is a dialect (both are called ethnolects).
Native Polish speakers I don't understand anything except a few words, that are sililar to Polish. The same applies to Czech, Slovak, Russian, Ukrainian and Kashubian. Kashubian and Silesian are sometimes clasified as dialects of Polish.
The Silesian people consired themselves to be a separate nation and their speak to be a separate language. And the Polish nationalists deny them this status. This is a political not lingusitic(scientific) debate.
Please stop creating new pages and start discussing on Talk:Silesian language. I'd also appreciate it if you calmed down and stopped accusing people who are trying to help of vandalism. Daniel Quinlan 01:18, Nov 4, 2003 (UTC)
Hi Caius, I noticed you said on Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress you are having some problems. Do you need help finding your old pages? Don't worry, nothing has been deleted.
You can look at all the old versions of Silesian language and then click the one you want to read. I think this one is your most recent. Is that what you were looking for?
Here is your Silesian ethnolect page.
No-one is trying to delete anything. I think you have misunderstood. Please look at Silesian where Daniel has edited your article to make it more neutral. If you want to discuss it, you can do so on the talk page, but please don't accuse people of vandalising. No-one is intentionally doing that.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. For example, you could have your version of the pages in your user space so that no-one else would edit them if this would be useful to you. Let me know if that's what you want and I can help you do that.
