Okay, I've based my creation of the two pages, [[Upper Silesian]] and [[Lower Silesian language]] on the Ethnologue report for both. I also looked at the UNESCO red book of languages and ''no'' Silesian language was listed, so it was little or no help. |

I'm willing to discuss the possibility that [[Upper Silesian]] or whatever you want to call it is a separate Slavic language rather than a dialect of Polish, but for now, please leave the page here while we discuss it -- I think we can figure out the appropriate name for the English Wikipedia page along the way (bear in mind that the name may be different in English than it is locally in Poland, Germany, etc.). I have no credible neutral sources of information except for Ethnologue so that would be useful here. I'm tired of watching people from the general region go back and forth at each other about whether this or that is a language or a dialect, so it has to be a credible neutral source.

Upper Silesian inhabitant of or related to the region of Upper Silesia in southern Poland
Okay, I've based my creation of the two pages, Upper Silesian and Lower Silesian language on the Ethnologue report for both. I also looked at the UNESCO red book of languages and no Silesian language was listed, so it was little or no help.
