Try to compare dialects. What are your first impressions of how these sound: the Małopolska highlander and Podlasie dialects, and the Kashubian language? Do they remind you of any other languages in their pure phonetics and melody—the way Greek reminds people of Spanish? Why? I have this strong impression that standard Slavic languages have been artificially stripped of their long vowels and natural intonation. It's as if people associated vowel length and rich cadence with being 'rustic' or having a lower social status. To avoid that stigma, they started speaking in this flat, clipped, and incredibly tense way. It feels like they believe official speech has to be toned down, so they tighten up and get rid of the vowels, because to them, long and deeply intonated sounds feel too peasant-like. #indo-european #polish#dialects
