W. Lyra is a collection of letters, stories, and poems written in the mid-19th century. This work focuses on the rich nuances and traditions of the Westphalian dialect, particularly emphasizing old expressions, proverbs, and the cultural narratives of rural life in Westphalia. The collection is not only a literary endeavor but also a valuable contribution to the preservation of the dialect and the cultural heritage associated with it. The opening of the collection sets a reflective tone, introducing the author’s motivation to document and celebrate the Westphalian dialect, which he believes is in danger of falling into obscurity. Lyra's introduction highlights his deep connection to the rural culture and language, as he aims to depict the life and customs of its people through various literary forms. He presents this work as both a faithful representation of the authentic vernacular and an entertaining read, hoping to engage both the older and younger generations in appreciating their linguistic heritage. Throughout the preface, there's a recurring emphasis on the importance of understanding and preserving this dialect in the face of modern influences.
