It is mainly used by Highlanders - people, who live in the southern part of Poland (also known as Gorals, in Polish "Górale") .]]> 2018-02-25 21:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jakubblich/qi8sir3yt9og/wish/235146763 jakubblich https://padlet.com/jakubblich/qi8sir3yt9og/wish/235147180 You can also recognise a Highlander after their characteristic dialect and after a hat, which is made of felt.
