Lechitic languages

The Lechitic languages ​​are a subgroup of West Slavic languages.

Assuming that in gemeinslawischer time (about 500 to 800 AD), a group lechischer dialects separated from the western Slavic dialects, one summarizes the resultant of these dialects Pomoranisch languages ​​(also called Ostseeslawisch that are Kashubian and Slovincian ), Polabian (also called Elbslawisch ) and Polish to the group of " Lechitic languages ​​" together. The term Lech ( ish ) goes back to the 1295 Polish chronicle written with the legend of the Duke Lech as alleged forefather of Poland. Thus, it was lechisch used as a Slavic name for Pole Lech / Lach.

The first font in Slavonic ( lechischer ) language is a foundation book for the first time in Heinrich Auer Polish written record of the year 1270 from the monastery Heinrichau.

Not to be confused are the Lechitic languages ​​with Lachish.
