Put in the right words.
I like this because it means I can read a book or a newspaper. On the Continent, everybody wants to tell you his life story. Some years ago I travelled by train from London to Paris. It was my first visit to Paris so I made up my mind to tour round France for my holidays. As I was going on a long journey I took a lot of books with me. There was an Englishman in the compartment with me and, in a typically English way, he did not speak a word during our journey through the English countryside or while crossing the Channel. But the minute we were in France he said, “Ah, now we are in France, we can talk.” And for the rest of the trip to Paris he told me his life story.
Kashubian-Pomeranian Union is an organization that cares about preserving the traditions of Kashubians. They are direct descendants of the ancient Slavic tribe of Pomorian. Their ancestors came to the area between the rivers Oder and Vistula during the great migration of peoples.
The oldest reference to their name comes from the thirteenth century (print Duke Barnim I Pomeranian), then Kashuba owned land around Szczecin. According to Westphalia Peace of 1648, after the end of the Thirty years war, the Western part of Pomerania was Swedish and Swedish kings have added a title of "Duke Kashubia" from 1648 to 1720.
Because of the difficult economic situation in Kashubia Kashubians went to Westphalia and other regions of Germany, and also in the USA and Canada. In 1860 kasubai village was founded Wilno in the canadian province of Ontario, the inhabitants of which saved Kashubian traditions and even their native language. A small group of Kashubians also lived in Australia and New Zealand.
J. Perkowski engaged the study of the Kashubian language and folklore in America, he noted that dialectal features also mixing features of English and Polish languages.
