== Identity == The Kociewians are a regional ethnographical group. In the 2011 census, 3065 individuals declared themselves as Kociewians (3053 combined this identification with Polish identification – they stated that they were Polish, but emphasized their Kociewie region), an increase since the census of 2002, when nobody identified as such. The Kociewian identity can be seen in opposition to the nearby Kashubs who inhabit the area to the north of Kociewie. The two dialects are mutually unintelligible, and the cultural and personal identities of Kociewians is often constructed vis-à-vis such differences.
