This Polish-Podlachian phrasebook is primarily a collection of prescriptive phrases of the Podlachian language for Podlachian peole who in public communication either use solely a foreign language or employ a great deal of barbarisms because of an insufficient knowledge of their mother tongue.

The phrasebook may also serve to all the interested parties — both Podlachian and foreign — as a handbook of the standardized version of the Podlachian language that we propagate via our website.

The phrasebook includes all typical conversational situations found in a phrasebook of a similar size for any other language and a lot of nontypical ones. The stress has been made to present the Podlachian language in its lexical and stylistic diversity.

Work in progress.
