Before the eviction of the Germans after the Second World War, the Wroclaw dialect was actively used in the Polish city of Wroclaw . To date, only a few (the Germans who avoided eviction) remember the dialect and can use it.

A characteristic phonetic feature is the transition ü into a short i (for example: Kiche instead of Küche ). Instead of the usual German stress on the first syllable (or on other syllables in borrowings), the dialect uses the stress on the second syllable in polysyllabic words ( Tun e ll instead of T nnel , Kar u ssel instead Karuss e ).

As with most Middle and South German dialects, the Wrocław dialect is characterized by the use of the suffix -l in the formation of diminutive forms, for example: Bänkl (for Bänkchen in standard German), Brötl ( Brötchen ), Gärtl ( Gärtchen ), Steckl ( Brätl ), Steckl ( Gärtchen ), Steckl ( Brätl ), Steckl ( Gärtchen ), Steckl ( Brätl ), Šckl ( Brätl ). , Würschtl ( Würstchen ), etc.
