Wilamowianie ([vilamɔvixaɲʲɛ], Wymysorys: Wymysiöejyn, German: Wilmesauer) are ethnic Germanic peoples of Poland living in the town of Wilamowice near Bielsko-Biała, who speak the Wymysorys language and have their own national costume and traditions. The name Wilamowianie (singular: wilamowianin) is for inhabitants of Wilamowice who identify themselves with the cultural society of Wilamowice. Their traditions say they are descendants of immigrants from Flanders. The overall population of the Wilamowianie declined during World War II.
