The Lach dialects (Template:Lang-cs, Template:Lang-pl, not to be confused with the Lechitic language group), are a group of dialects of Silesian language. They represent a hybrid or mix of the West Slavic languages.

The Lach dialects are spoken in parts of Czech Silesia, the Hlučín region, and northeastern Moravia,[1] as well as in some adjacent villages in Poland.[2] Most Czech researchers consider Lach a dialect of Czech, whereas Polish dialectologists tend to ascribe Polish origins to Lach.[3]

The poet Óndra Łysohorsky is probably the best-known writer in a Lach dialect.
