The Przemyśl dialect (Polish: gwary przemyskie) belongs to the Lesser Poland dialect group and is located in the southeastern part of Poland. It borders the Biecz dialect to the west, the Lasovia dialect to the northwest, the Eastern Lublin dialect to the northeast, and the Southern Borderlands dialect to the east.
The Przemyska dialect is close physically and linguistically to the Eastern Lublin dialect as well as the Southern Borderlands dialect, sharing less with the nearby Goral dialects. Eastern Slavic, namely Ukrainian, has had a strong influence on this dialect, and is often considered a dialect of the Southern Borderlands dialect group. After World War 2, the population of this region has changed much, with fewer Ukrainians, Lemkos, and Bojkos. Dialectal traits here are generally inconsistent, often with many exceptions.
