Pomeranian language

Pomoranisch or Ostseeslawisch is:

• In the narrow sense (so called West Pomoranisch ) is a collective term for extinct West Slavic ( lechische ) dialects along the Baltic Sea east of the Travelodge about in today's German and Polish Pomerania West Pomerania.
• In a broader sense the Pomoranische includes the Kashubian language and Slowinski, ie Slovincian - Kashubian, or its historical predecessors (so called East Pomoranisch ), where Slovincian in turn is often viewed purely as a dialect of Kashubian and Kashubian in Poland is considered as a regional language since 2005
• In the broadest ( rare ) sense a collective name for all Slavic ( also typical Polish ) dialects of Pomerania

In the first definition, it is a dead language, in the second (and third ) definition of a living language. The Kashubian (often including the extinct around 1945 Slovincian ) is now often referred to as " Pomeranisch " in the sense of the second definition because it is seen as the only remaining "part" of Pomeranischen.

Pomoranisch in the narrow sense

The Pomoranische in the narrow sense bordered on the west by Polabian, to the south and to the east by Polish Kashubian - Slovincian or Ostpomoranisch. It was spoken in approximately the 6th to the 18th century, but the majority of pomoranisch speaking population has been Germanized language at the beginning of the modern era.
