Standardization

The first attempts to standardize Polesie language varieties date from the beginning of the twentieth century with a Polesie primer (Duliczenko 2002: 582Duliczenko 2002 / komentarz/comment/r /
Duličenko, Aleksandr D. 2002. „Westpolesisch”, w: Miloš Okuka (red.) Lexikon der Sprachen des europäischen Ostens. Klagenfurt, s. 581-588. [http://wwwg.uni-klu.ac.at/eeo/]
).
For today's standardized texts include the work of Mykola Szylahowicz, who proposed a level of standardization in 1984 when Szylahowicz met with a scientific committee, during a Polesie festival. Currently Szylahowicz continues his activities in promoting West Polesian in the Russian district of Kaliningrad under the auspices of the organization Jetvyz (http://jetvyz.narod2.ru/). In terms of variations occurring in Poland, Podlachian language standardization on the basis of a variety of North Podlasie is the domain of Jan Maksymiuk (http://svoja.org).
