Pomeranian language

(Redirected from Pommersch language)

Pomeranian is a group of Lekhitic dialects, sometimes called also the dialects of Polish. In the Middle Ages these dialects were spoken in all territory of Pomerania. According to Florian Ceynowa, today the only living descendant of Lekhitic Pomeranian is Kashubian language spoken in Eastern Pomerania (Pomeranian Voivodship). A dialect of Kashubian language, Slovincian became extinct around 1945. Other dialects used by autochtonic people of Pomerania (Kociewiacy, Borowiacy, Krajniacy ) were influenced by Pomeranian/Kashubian, however are considered parts of Great Polish dialect (Krajniacy) and Masurian dialect (Kociewiacy).
