Slovincian Language
Slovincian (Slovincian: ''slôvjinskjy'', ; ; ; ) is an extinct language formerly spoken by the Slovincians living between lakes Gardno and Łebsko near Słupsk in Pomerania. Slovincian is classified either as a language (first by Friedrich Lorentz), or as a Kashubian dialect or variant. Slovincian and Kashubian are both classified as Pomeranian. See below. Slovincian became extinct in the early twentieth century ultimately due to stigmatization from Germans. However, individual words and expressions survived until after World War II, when the region became Polish. Some Slovincians were expelled along with the Germans. Of those allowed to stay, a few elderly people had fragmentary knowledge of Slovincian until the 1950s. It is disputed whether Slovincians actually used that name, given to them by the Russian academic Aleksander Hilferding, for themselves. The synonym ''Lebakaschuben'' ( Łebsko Kashubians) is also used. Some scholars believe that Slovincians regarde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kashubian Literature
Kashubian language, Kashubian literature appeared in Poland during the second half of the nineteenth century with Florian Cejnowa (1817–1881), who used the Sławoszyno dialect of the Puck, Poland, Puck region, and Hieronim Derdowski (1852–1902), who used the Wiele dialect of the Chojnice County, Chojnice district. The latter enriched Kashubian literature especially in poetry. Aleksander Majkowski (1876–1938) used the dialect of Koscierzyna County, Koscierzyna-Lipusz, the district from which he came. His greatest achievement was the creation in 1908 of ''Gryf'', the Kashubian periodical. He also wrote the only pre-war Kashubian novel in 1938. In the last decade, about two hundred books have been published in Kashubian, including translations of international works. Anthologies and compendia have been written by Neureiter 1973, Drzeżdżon 1986, and Neureiter 1991.
