Kashubian language

Kashubian () or Cassubian (; endonym: kaszëbsczi jãzëk; Polish: język kaszubski) is a West Slaviclanguage belonging to the Lechitic subgroup.

Approximately 87,600 people use mainly Kashubian at home. It is the only remnant of the Pomeranian language. It is close to standard Polish with influence from Low German and the extinct Polabian (West Slavic) and Old Prussian (West Baltic) languages.

The Kashubian language exists in two different forms: vernacular dialects used in rural areas, and literary variants used in education.
