Any references in any language to any of the following varieties would be much appreciated: - Traditional Polish dialects of Silesia (i.e., descended from pre-1945 local varieties) - Traditional varieties spoken on Gotland (Sweden) - Traditional varieties spoken in Skåne (Sweden) - Tsakonian (Greece) - Trebizond and Pontic varieties spoken in Greece Many thanks, Robert McColl Millar Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 17-Jun-2011       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
