Masurian is a dialect of Polish from Masovia and Masuria. In 19th century, German authorities of Masuria tried to support the name Masurian as the separate language to underline the German overlord power under the Masuria. Even in 1925 many Masurs didn't know that they speak a Polish dialect.

Masuria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (905 words)
Of the Masurian population in 1890 143,397 gave German as their language (either primary or secondary), 152,186 Polish, and 94,961 Masurian.
Most of the population fled to Germany or were killed during the war, while the rest were subject to "nationality verification" organized by the communist government of Poland.
Soon after 1956, some Masurians were given the opportunity to join their families in West Germany.
