Pamarėska/Orthography: Difference between revisions

After the Communist goverment fell in 1989 in Poland many changes happened in people's life. The communist influence on the Pomorian Culture Organisation has finally stopped but the Organisation itself did not represent new democratic ideas and ceased to exist soon after that. Sauliu Dzelini - a former member of the Organization - continued to work on preserving the Pomorian language. He did a major research in the language and its dialects, recorded more than a hundred Pomorian tales and folk songs called ''"gėdė"'' or ''dziedinkė"'' unique for their repeating sounds or words. In 1989 he proposed a new Pomorian Proper, based on his native dialect of Viestūtė (Wiastowce in Polish), which is a Central-Western dialect and also the one having the longest written records. This new Pomorian Proper is a mixture of Western and Eastern dialects and the new orthography is a compromise variant between the traditional and Eastern systems of writing combining some of their features. Today books, the media and schools use this orthography.
