Kraków dialect

This dialect is slowly losing many features and replacing them with those from Standard Polish.

Also typical of Lesser Polish dialects is the presence of mazuration, but is slowly being lost.

Word finally -ę denasalizes to -e, and -ą can either denasalize to -o (in the accusative singular of feminine adjectives, numerals, and pronouns and the third person plural present/future tense of verbs) or decompose to -om (in the instrumental singular of feminine nouns, adjectives, and pronouns).

ch- can shift to k- in certain clusters: kfila (chwila), pkać (pchać).

[2] The archaic feminine genitive ending of soft-stem nouns -e can still be seen here with the older generation in the south: do kopalnie, but is being replaced with standard -y/-i.

Sometimes personal clitics are omitted in the past tense: jo myślała (myślałam).

The archaic dual endings -wa, -ma, -ta in the forms of the first and second person plurals of the present, past, simple future and imperative mood.

[2] Common is the extension of the prepositions and prefixes w(-), z(-) with mobile e to we(-), ze(-) when before a word starting with a consonant of the same place of articulation.
