Zamość i Zamojszczyzna na mapie językowej i kulturowej Polski
Zamość and Zamojszczyzna on the Polish language and cultural map

Summary/Abstract: This paper is a brief presentation of the town of Zamość and the Zamość Region in the context of the map of dialects spoken in the historical territories of South-Eastern Borderlands. The dialect spoken there contains a lot of Ukrainian linguistic interferences, which mirror the political, ethnic and civilization history of this land, reaching back to the tribal roots. The map is delineated by the particular features of the dialectal and sub-dialectal texts (old and modern) as well as a variety of names (place names, personal names, names of churches, etc.). Apart from its regional language variety, the region of Zamość is distinctive for its literature, folklore, cultural and academic life (historic Zamość Academia), a whole range of the highest class architectural sights (Zamość as a town is placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List), spectacular geographical and tourist surroundings (including the Roztocze National Natural Park, some landscape parks and nature reserves).
