The Oberostrauer dialect (Czech nářečí hornoostravské , Polish dialect górnoostrawski ) is a small-scale dialect in the southwestern part of Cieszyn Silesia or in the eastern part of Lachei , southeast of Ostrau . It belongs to the Ostrava part of the Lachish dialect group of the Czech language or the Moravian-Silesian dialects. The “Lachish” literary language ( lašsko řeč ) created by the Czech poet Óndra Łysohorsky is based on this basilect , although only he himself used it.

Among other things, this dialect preserves the difference between i and y (as in Polish), two l -qualities and palatalizes to a greater extent than the Czech literary language (e.g. ńeśe vs. nese ). Before nasals , o and e are pronounced closely. It shares some morphological features with the neighboring Polish-Silesian dialects of Teschen .

In the description of Teschener Silesia by Reginald Kneifl in 1804 it was mentioned as a Silesian-Moravian dialect. The dialect was explored in 1903 by CM Kulbakin (Кульбакин), who described it as a Polish-Czech transition dialect . In the 1930s Óndra Łysohorsky borrowed some letters from the Polish alphabet, such as ł and ó , which he used in his pseudonym.
