Wilamowice [IPA-pl|w|i|l|a|m|o|'|w|i|c|e] ( _de. Wilmesau) is a small town in southern Poland, situated in the Bielsko County, Silesian Voivodeship (since 1999, previously in Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship, 1975–1998). The endangered language of Wymysorys is spoken here by about 70 native speakers, the majority of them elderly. The language was the main one of the town until the early communist period (1945-1956), when authorities repressed it.
