Pogórzanie (Polish Uplanders), also known as Western Pogorzans and Eastern Pogorzans, are a distinctive subethnic group of Poles that mostly live in the Central Beskidian Range of the Podkarpacie highlands. The Pogorzans inhabited the central and the southern half of the Beskids in Poland, including the Ciężkowickie, Strzyżowskie and Dynowskie Plateau as well as Doły Jasielsko Sanockie, from the White River (Biała) in the west to the San River in the east.

They represent the major population groups inhabiting the Subcarpathian Voivodeship. These are mainly Polish people with a small number of German ^[1][2] and Dolinians (Dale Dwellers) people. However, groups of Rusyns and German^[3] people soon became polonized.^[4][5]

Pogorzans are neighbours with Lachy sądeckie from the west, Krakowiacy and Rzeszowiacy from the north and Dolinians (Dale Dwellers subethnic of Lemkos) and Lemkos from the south.

With regard to cultural differences Pogorzans are divided into two parts: western (the area of Gorlice, Jasło and Strzyżów), southtern Sanok, and eastern (Brzozów). The border between those two groups is in Krosno. The differences between western and eastern groups were especially seen in architecture and clothes.

Traditional occupations of the Pogorzans included agriculture, oil mining and the military; today these are joined by the service and petroleum industries, and agrotourism. The Pogorzan language is considered by Polish scholars to be the most western of Polish dialects (Mazurian and Lesser Polish dialect).
