The Niemodlin dialect (Polish: gwary niemodlińskie, Silesian: niymodlińskie gwar, niymodliński dialekt, pronunciation: ɲɨmɔˈdliɲski ˈdjalɨkt) is a Silesian dialect, used in the parts of the city of Niemodlin, Poland. It slightly differs from standard Silesian by having a characteristic pronunciation called mazuration (mazurzenie), which means that the consonants cz sz ż dż are pronounced as the alveolars c s z dz (IPA: [ts], [s], [z], and [dz], respectively). In Niemodlin Silesian phonology a nasalized vowel y ([ɨ̃]) may also occur.
It is closely related to the Prudnik dialect.
Example of the dialect
Jak my byli chopcy, to my śli tys cansto na gřiby. Noubaři my śe radowali, jak my nouwjancyj prawikůw a růtkopůw nazbjyrali, bo te bůuy bardzo twardy do krouńou. Prawiki a růtkopy – z wjankša rosnům we břuskach. Śińouki a kuřůntka – te z wjankša rosnům zajś we śwjyrckach. Majślouki tys sům dobry, yno te žoudyn ńe chćou zajś roud uodźyrać, bo te musům zajś być uodźyrany, a bardzo śe lepjům po palcach. Bźony – te rosnům zajś na ślagach, na tych uodźymkach uod strumůw. I poram muchorůutkůw my tys přinůjśli, co na muchy jadźić.
