| This database contains folklore texts collected by the Polish ethnographer Stefania Ulanowska in the 1890s, published 1891-1895 (see attachment "UlanowskaBiblio" for references). The original edition contained the Latgalian texts written in the semi-standardized writing system of the time and a Polish translation. We have added here a transliteration based on the current orthography (see attachement "UlanowskaTranslit" for details). All fairy tales (baśnie), some of the short tales (fraszki) and some of the songs have been translated into English (see listing below). For some tales and songs a recording was added (see listing below). | ||||||
