	All words on Silesian Voivodship
		Silesian voivodship since 1999 Silesia or Silesian Voivodship(1) is an administrative region and local government unit in Poland, established in 1999 out of Katowice, Czętochowa and Bielsko-Biała voivodships as a result of Local Government Reorganisation Act of 1998 (effective 1 January 1999).
		The Silesian voivodship lies in the south of Poland and is bordered by the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
		Strong links of the present Silesian voivodship (comprising area known as the Upper Silesia) with the Opole and Lower Silesian Voivodships is justified and motivated by historical identity of the Duchy of Silesia (''Ksiestwo Śląskie'') divided in the 13th century into the Upper and Lower Silesia.
