The '''Warsaw subdialect''' ({{langx|pl|gwara warszawska}} {{IPA|pl|ˈɡvara varˈʂafska|}}), or '''Warsaw dialect''' ({{langx|pl|dialekt warszawski}}), is a regional subdialect of the [[Masovian dialect]] of the [[Polish language]], centered on the city of [[Warsaw]]. It evolved as late as the 18th century, under notable influence of several languages spoken in the city. After the destruction of Warsaw in the aftermath of the [[Warsaw Uprising]] of 1944 the subdialect has been in decline. It is estimated that in modern times it is almost extinct as the native language and is preserved mostly in literary works.
