Wilamowice, Municipality in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
Located in Bielsko County, Wilamowice extends over 56 square kilometers of land at an altitude of 257 meters above sea level.
Settlers from Friesland established this settlement around 1250, following the Mongol invasion that had left Polish lands in need of reconstruction.
The local population developed a distinct Germanic dialect called Wymysorys, which remains active among a small group of native speakers.
The municipality contains several administrative offices, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions serving its population of approximately 14,888 residents.
Wilamowice preserves its linguistic heritage through the Wymysorys language, which differs from standard German and contains elements from Dutch, Polish, and English.
