message: Could anyone post some info on the assumption that the language of poleszuks (or 'tutejsi', as they are usually referred to in polish sources) is a dialect of Ukrainian?

message: There was no confusion here. Read this: (PDF in Russian). The Yatviag language stuff is on the pages 80-82. The general Polesie stuff starts at the page 75. — Monedula 19:57, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a copy of "Zbudinnya". The term "Jatviazhska" is not used prominently there. There is no slightest relation of the real (extinct) Yotvingian language to the invention of undereducated good-meaning young men. And there is no reason to propagate this glitch into encyclopedia, notable only by its ignorance: Yotvingians didn't live in Polesie. Mikkalai 20:32, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

text: BTW, your reference contains a notable phrase: "hampers the usage of the <polisian> language by the majority of the population, with the possible exception of its creators", i.e., it was   a non-notable experiment very loosely related to real life, if at all. Mikkalai 20:43, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, the proper spelling is Ukrainian Polishchuk, since this is a Ukrainian sub-ethnic group.--Sanya3 (talk) 04:15, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tutejsi or Tutejszy ? 

message: In fact, it is not really correct to combine Poleszuks and "Locals". Poleszuks were "Locals" but not all "Locals" were Poleszuks. Please, google for the works of Józef Mackiewicz and you will see that there were many people in the Wilno area who called themselves "Locals". It was also Mathias Niendorf who noticed it.

message: The word Poleszuk is wrong. As it is result from the russian form, not from the native belarusian form. (Adash) 19:44, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paleszuk (not “Poleszuk”) 

message: Not Paleszuk and not Poleszuk. It's wrong names. Right name is Poleshuk, cause it's endonym, and not polish or ukrainian name. Retro-redakteur.u12 (talk) 14:19, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

message: "the Poleszuks along with Belarusian people developed a strong sense of identity" - compare: 
були випадки, коли після війни, за співання місцевих українських пісень відправляли до Сибіру.

message: Why is there an infobox for this "ethnic group", which numbers 9 people (by identification) in Ukraine? This is actually an ethnographic group, inhabiting Polesia.--Zoupan 15:21, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Because we don't have separate infoboxen for each and every ethnographic term. Number of people irrelevant. We have articles even about extinct tribes. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:17, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Pаleszuk" listed at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion|Redirects for discussion]] 

message: The infobox lists a total of 23 Poleshuks, but the article doesn't say anything concerning that. Article for the language/dialect West Polesian likewise does no mention of the number of speakers, but if we go by this, it's very low. Is their language (or dialect) to be presumed endangered as they are? Is there any news coverage concerning the last few Poleshuks? -Vipz (talk) 22:02, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
