Ciechanowiec is one of the oldest cities in the Podlasie region, located in the south - western part of the region. The town is situated in the region of Masovian dialect, with many features characteristic of the north-eastern Polish dialects. The earlier Polish language, which has preserved vocabulary and grammatical features recorded in the eighteenth-century works of Christopher Kluk (naturalist from Ciechanowiec), is at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first century rapidly disappearing. It is displaced by the nationwide language, heard on radio and television.
