Lemko dialect (Ukrainian: Лемківський говір) or West Carpathian dialect (Ukrainian: Західнокарпатський говір) is a dialect spoken by Lemko people of the Carpathians in the border region of Ukraine, Slovakia and Poland. It is classified as part of Southwestern dialects of Ukrainian language, part of Rusyn language, or a separate language.[1][2] Lemko dialect is spoken in an area bordered by Boyko and Transcarpathian dialects in the east, Slovak language in the southwest and Polish language in the north. An enclave populated by Lemko speakers is also located in Polish ethnic territory between the towns of Strzyżów and Krosno. After the Second World War many Lemkos were forcibly resettled to other regions of Poland and Ukraine, which resulted in further geographic spread of the dialect.[3]
