Alzenau dialect

Halcnovian (Altsnerisch/Päurisch), alternatively spelled Haltsnovian, is an East Central German dialect spoken in the former village of Hałcnów, which is now a district of Bielsko-Biała, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

Some examples of the language were recorded in the works of Karl Olma, who was active as a journalist in the Halcnovian exile community in West Germany after World 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.
