Simple speech
Common folk speech (Ukrainian: проста мова, romanized: prosta mova; Polish: mowa prosta; Belarusian: простая мова, romanized: prostaja mova), also translated as common folk language or common folk talk, is an informal reference to various uncodified vernacular forms of Ukrainian and Belarusian in the areas historically influenced by Polish culture. This term has been commonly used, e.g., as a reply to the question about the mother tongue or language spoken at home by the Tutejszy in the historical region of Kresy, which covers parts of modern Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and a bit of Latvia.
