Lekhitic languages

(Redirected from Lekhitic)

The Lechitic languages include three or possibly four languages spoken in eastern Europe, principally in Poland. (The precise classification of Slovincian is somewhat disputed). This language group is a branch of the larger West Slavic language family. The Lekhitic group includes:

  • Polish- (SIL Code, PQL; ISO 639-1 code, pl; ISO 639-2 code, pol)
  • Kashubian - (SIL Code, CSB; ISO 639-2 code, csb)
  • Slovincian - an extinct dialect of Kashubian
  • Polabian- extinct - (SIL Code, POX; ISO 639-2 code, sla)

The term "Lechitic" derives from the name of Lech, legendary ancestor of Lekhitic peoples and founder of Poland.
