Anybody live in Kashubia?
Apparently they want to do more to promote the Kaszubski language, and are
planning to introduce bi-lingual signposts.

Anything that makes Poland more colourful and a bit less uniform is cool. Any
one have any more examples?

        I know folk in the RAŚ (Ruch Autonomii Śląskiej), and their policy is to give
        three separate dialects equal official status.
        This seems to me a bit mad (if you'll pardon the linguistic jargon), as they'd
        have to take a language with no standard literary form and codify it
        simultaneously three times.
        In Scotland we've got three languages, and each one has a long-established
        standardised form completely different from the way anybody speaks.
        There are all these bilingual English/Gaelic signs "Glasgow/Glaschu", but the
        Scots name, Glesca, is the one most commonly used.
        I suppose in Kashubia it'll be simpler, because it's a small area.
