Little is known about an early period of Pomorian (before XIII century CE), because no written record had been left during this time. Archeological evidence state that early Pomorian tribes were living in the territory of Western Polesie region, which is now South-Western Belarus and Eastern Poland as far as the San river. Around V-VII centuries CE (during the [[w:Migration Period|Migration Period]]) Pomorians moved to their current land. The cause of migration is disputed, many factors played role in it. During this period many borrowings from neighbouring Baltic tribes entered the language. After that Pomorian did not changed quite a lot from its original state. | Little is known about an early period of Pomorian (before XIII century CE), because no written record had been left during this time.

First written records came from German missionaries in the XIII century and the language is called Old Pomorian (Vėtuhapamarėska). The first attestation was found on a stone, which could be a part of a monastery, in Viestūtė.

The first attestation was found on a stone, which could be a part of a monastery, in Viestūtė. The carving states: ''"Deywes kun semya preienlus esti"'', which translates as: "God has come to this land" (In modern language this would be: "Dieve kų zemio priejįlu est"). It is also the only attestation where final /s/ is present. Some inscriptions and even small texts survived from that period, showing some dialectal features. | ||

During the period between XIII and XV centuries Eastern Pomerania was under the [[w:Teutonic Order|Teutonic Order]] and was under a great German influence. Before that time Pomorze and Prussia were sparcely populated having no major towns there. Because of most towns being founded and populated by Germans ([[w:Teutonic_Order#Decline|and later by Poles]]), the Pomorian language was a tine minority there. Despite that Pomorian continued existing in rural areas, where it stayed for all of its history. During this time contact with German and Polish began and a lot of loanwords were borrowed from these two languages. Also they influenced Pomorian phonology in different dialects creating even more distinction among them. Under the Polish rule Pomorian began to decline in southern territories of Pomorze and Prussia. | During the period between XIII and XV centuries Eastern Pomerania was under the [[w:Teutonic Order|Teutonic Order]] and was under a great German influence.
