The Niemodlin dialect of Silesian language (Silesian: djalykt ńymodliński ślůnskij godki, pronunciation: ['dʲalɨkt ɲɨmɔd'liɲski 'ʃlunskʲij 'gɔtki]) is a dialect of the Silesian language, used in the parts of Niemodlin city. It slightly differs from the standard Silesian by having some characteristic pronunciation phenomenon called masuring (mazuřyńy), which means that the group of consontants č š ž dž is read exactly like c s z dz (IPA: /ʦ/, /s/, /z/, /ʣ/). In Niemodlin Silesian phonology sometimes occurs also a nasal vowel y (which is read as /ɨ̃/). It is closely related to the Prudnik dialect.

Example of the dialect

Jak my byli chopcy, to my śli tys cansto na gřiby. Noubaři my śe radowali, jak my nouwjancyj prawikůw a růtkopůw nazbjyrali, bo te bůuy bardzo twardy do krouńou. Prawiki a růtkopy – z wjankša rosnům we břuskach. Śińouki a kuřůntka – te z wjankša rosnům zajś we śwjyrckach. Majślouki tys sům dobry, yno te žoudyn ńe chćou zajś roud uodźyrać, bo te musům zajś być uodźyrany, a bardzo śe lepjům po palcach. Bźony – te rosnům zajś na ślagach, na tych uodźymkach uod strumůw. I poram muchorůutkůw my tys přinůjśli, co na muchy jadźić.
