"Wymysiöejer fibl" is our second book of the series „Ynzer kyndyn”, dedicated to young readers. Although a growing children’s literature fills a large gap in the Wilamowicean writing tradition, “Wymysiöejer fibl” attempts to reach a wider audience as well. The illustrations, which depict everyday life of the Wilamowicean people, their traditional clothes, celebrations and landscapes, allow the reader to immerse himself in the Wilamowicean culture. The pictures were made by a Vilamovian- Justyna Majerska. This example breaks another stereotype about Wymysorys- that people from Wilamowicean community do not engage in the revitalization of their language.

"Ynzer boümmüter" is the first children's book in Wymysorys language, authored by Carlo Ritchie- an Australian linguist and the founder of the Accademia Wilamowicziana.

My name is Tymoteusz Król. My family is not originally from Wilamowice; my mum is Silesian and my dad is of Silesian and Highlander origin. Some people accuse me of not being a „true Vilamovian”. But I think I’m living proof that even if one is not of Wilamowicean origin one can be a true-born Vilamovian.
