Southern Borderlands dialect^[a] is a dialect of the Polish language, spoken by the Polish minority in Ukraine. It is considered a branch of the Lesser Poland dialect by Zofia Kurzowa.^[1]^[2]

Phonology

The main differences in pronunciation lie within the consonant system.

Standard Polish /w/, spelled <ł>, is pronounced /ɫ/, and standard /l/ is palatalized, yielding /lʲ/, like in the Northern Borderlands dialect.
Standard Polish /x/, spelled <ch>, may be palatalized, yielding /xʲ/
The Southern Borderlands dialect differentiates /ɦ/ and /x/, spelled respectively in Polish as <h> and <ch>
The standard Polish palatal sibilants and affricates, /ɕ/, /ʑ/, /t͡ɕ/, and /d͡ʑ/ (spelled ,<ś>, <ź>, <ć>, and <dź> respectively) are pronounced /sʲ/, /zʲ/, /tʲ/, and /dʲ/.

Some speakers speak with an accent according to the pronunciation of Ukrainian cognates.
