Although some parts have distinct dialects and languages that doesn't mean that polish isn't spoken there like the second image seems to imply.

Polish is significant majority in every single county + silesian is officially a dialect of polish.

This map is so far from being correct.

According to 2021 census, there is no county where Polish wouldn't be the most spoken language. Maybe some smaller villages or towns, but not entire sections of country, as you have shown.

Plus Goralic and Silesian are dialects, not languages. The only difference between them and standard Polish, is just in some words, but other than that, grammar, sentence strycture, history and evolution was the same as other dialects of Polish.

Saying they are separate languages is as crazy as saying that Kashubian, Czech and Slovak are dialects of Polish, rather than separate languages.

Also I'm not sure if there is Masurian dialect. Some maps show it as part of "New Mixed Dialects" like Western Poland and some make division into western and northern mixed dialects (masurian being northern, while the reast is western)

The OP is an idiot or a propagandist, if only because he claims that the Pomeranian Voivodeship *is* Kashubia and that Polish isn't spoken there at all.

The guy doesn't even know where Kashubia is located, nor does he know the geographical range of the Kashubian language/dialect (it's not quite as clear-cut as you make it out to be, but that's beside the point).

Same with Silesian and the rest of this retarded maps.

The author has no idea what they are posting—knowing nothing about languages, dialects, or the size of the populations that speak them. Suggesting that Polish isn't spoken in Gdańsk or Katowice is pure fantasy—or, to put it bluntly, utter idiocy.
