Subject: Language varieties

Folks,

I'm not sure if this should be under "Language varieties" or "Resources."  I 
expect the latter to lead to the former.  So why not cut to the chase?

I found what I think is a really nice website dedicated to the study of a 
village in Northern Poland:

Polish: Tuchomie, pow. Bytów, Pomorze
Kashubian: Tëchòmié, kréz Bëtowò, Pòmòrzkô
German: Groß Tüchen, Kreis Bütow, Pommern (Hinterpommern)

As a part-Pomeranian with interethnic passions myself, I really like it that 
the creator of the pages approaches the subject in as much a non-partisan 
and inclusive way as possible.  Besides, while focussing on a certain 
village (or "town" in American), it seems to include plenty of general 
information about Pomerania:

I take the liberty to reproduce the introduction (in German, English Polish, 
Kashubian and Low Saxon/Low German, in this order):

zur Aufarbeitung des gemeinsamen Schicksals von Deutschen, Kaschuben, Polen, 
Ukrainern und Russen dort. In Deutsch und Englisch, Graf Krockows Worte auch 
in Polnisch. Diese Seiten sind den Pommern und ihren Nachfahren in aller 
Welt gewidmet.

Contributions for history, sociology, culture and genealogy of Eastern 
Pomerania and for the processing of the common fate of Germans, Kashubs, 
Poles, Ukrainians and Russians there. In German and English, the words of 
Count Krockow in Polish, too. These pages are dedicated to the Pomeranians 
and their descendants in all world.

Wspólpraca w zakresie historii, socjologii, kultury i genealogii wschodniej 
czesci Pomorza. Prezentacja wspólnego losu Niemców, Kaszubów, Polaków, 
Ukrainców i Rosjan na tych ziemiach. Uwagi hrabiego von Krockow na temat

I'd prefer the authentisch _Poolsch_ instead of German _Polnisch_ in Low 
Saxon.

I suggest adding the intro in Portuguese, because there are 
Pomeranian-rooted communities in Brazil.  I'll take a stab at it. 
Corrections are requested.

Contribuições para a história, a sociologia, a cultura e a genealogia da 
Pomeránia Oriental e para o processamento do fado comum de alemães, 
kashubianos (cachubianos), pólos, ukranianos e russos naquela região. Em 
alemão e inglês, as palavras de conde Krockow em polonês também. Essas 
páginas são dedicadas ao pomeranos e os seus descendentes em todo o mundo.

Isn't it great that everyone is now in a position to discuss the 
multi-ethnic regions that for a long time lay behind the Iron Curtain for us 
in the "West"?

I know that we have at least two members that are interested in and in 
contact with Pomeranian communities in Brazil.  One of them joined us very 
recently.  (Bem vindo!)  I would love to get information about such 
communities, their history, culture and language(s).

Below please find a few relevant links.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
