Did any of your ancestors speak one of these languages and dialects?

"While the biggest ethnic minorities in Poland include Silesians, Germans, Belarusians and Ukrainians, there are also ethnicities and languages nothing short of surprising. Lemko, Cashubian, Roma, and Wymysorys: all of these languages are still spoken today in Poland".
