Book
Need help from a literary editor in writing a book. The work on writing is in progress (60% completed). There is a desire to consult during the work process and immediately use the advice. The book is written entirely in a dialect (Ivano-Frankivsk region, Rozhnyativ-Perehin district) - this is important. Based on a personal genealogical tree, where the main characters are real people - my ancestors (practically no fictional characters), the history of the villages from which my ancestors come, the traditions that were in the region, and, importantly, one of the important things - the preservation of the dialect, which is dying today. It is preferable that the editor is at least somewhat familiar with the local dialect, but I can help understand some specific words during the work.)
Here is an example of the text:
- Father, the kobeley is ready on the table, do not look, do you like it? Is there anything to
correct? - they asked the father.
Collecting a basket with dishes for the blessing is a whole ritual in the Carpathians. The bigger the kobeley, the more it shows the status of the host. Well, when the priest begins to bless the dishes, people open their baskets, and every hostess starts to peek into the neighbor's basket and look at what the neighbor has prepared. Oh, they will have something to talk about, whose sausage was what, who prepared what delicacy for the holiday, how the butter was made, what Easter eggs were placed in the basket, whose Easter cake rose, God forbid it did not crack. Everyone seems to have the same, but seeing someone else's dish in the basket and then spreading it around the village, it seems that only because of that the hostess came to Church for Easter. And the embroidered towel from the basket is not taken down until the priest blesses it with incense, so that everyone can see how beautifully the new towel is hung on the kobeley. Well, they also need to look at the neighbor's, how it is embroidered, because if hers is not the prettiest, then she must embroider a new one. They understood that the basket for the priest, which will stand on the table by the cross, will be looked at by the whole village, and then they will gossip about what kind of hostess she is. The whole Holy Week they were thinking about how to beautifully decorate the basket, they even sent Paraska, the maid, up to Yurchikha Shumeiova for the vine to wrap around the kobeley. Yurchikha generously picked the vine, and even took some flowers, because this year the spring is warm and the vine has already started to bloom. Dmytro, the hired hand, went somewhere under Pohar to dig up horseradish. Traditionally, in those years, they looked for horseradish to have at least small green tips, but this year it already has nice green leaves. They did not cut the leaves. It is enough for the basket to have nice green in it. For this, the top of the basket is decorated with vine.
- I think, Yadzya, that nothing, I am in a hurry, I do not have time. You hurry the children so that they do not
miss the Liturgy of the World, so that they go to Communion and remind them, - Father Jan was hastily gathering and responding to his wife.

в мене слів немає - один... "діалект"... 🙂
де той камікадзе, що візьметься за це?..)))

Я проживаю в сусідній Чернівецькій області, але цей текст настільки діалектизований, що навіть незрозуміло чи є в ньому помилки)))
-
Чесно кажучи, із тексту майже нічого не зрозуміла, тому допомогти у вашій роботі, на жаль, не зможу, проте ідея дуже цікава і важлива, бажаю успіхів у збереженні та передачі вашої родинної спадщини!

Ідея оригінальна, але книжка такою мовою матиме дуже обмежене коло читачів. Щоправда, якщо автор пише для себе і кола близьких, без претензій на тираж, тоді це виправдано.

А мені сподобалося - двічі перечитала)) Геть зовсім не знайома з цим цікавим діалектом, але цілком реально зрозуміти про що йдеться - про свято, як кожна газдиня прикрашає кошик і вихваляється перед іншими)) Але ж як зрозуміти де там помилка чи стилістика кульгає... оце геть незрозуміло)))
Культурну спадщину треба берегти, безумовно, тому бажаю автору віднайти гарного редактора. Хай книга відбудеться! Успіхів! -
