Success stories

Tymoteusz Król started documenting his grandparents generation’s language when he was only 11 years old. This language is Wilamowicean, one of the smallest minority languages of Poland. Above you can see a short video in which Tymoteusz (an adult man now) is speaking about his work. Afterwards, you can listen to Mrs. Rozalia Hanusz (1926-2009) who is describing the Wilamowice town in Wilamowicean.
