Cieszyn Silesian dialect (Polish: gwara cieszyńska or dialekt cieszyński; Czech: těšínské nářečí locals using this dialect say they speak po naszymu) is one of the Silesian dialects. It has its roots mainly in Polish and also has strong influences from Czech and German and to a lesser extent from Vlach (see Moravian Wallachia) and Slovak. It is spoken in Cieszyn Silesia a region on both sides of the Polish-Czech border. It lacks some official codification and remains a spoken language.
