Summary/Abstract: The reviewed work by the Slovak author concerns the dialectal languages of the Polish-Czech-Slovak border region of Upper Kysuce, more commonly known in Poland as the Čadca Land. The work is the result of multi-year field research, which, according to the author, confirms the earlier findings of Slovak dialectologists that those dialects have historical Polish sources, but currently belong to the Slovak language. Polish dialectologists do not agree with this interpretation, and one may wonder whether their lack of reaction to the discussed work is coincidental. Therefore, this publication may also be of interest to historians, because it fits into the long-standing Polish-Slovak, often emotional, discourse on the history and present of the borderland. The author of the review conducts his considerations from this angle.
