''Wendish'' ( 'wenska rec') is a West-Slavic language spoken in the Wendland, a histroical region in Lower Saxony. The language belongs to the lechitc Branch of West-Slavic and is most closely related to Kashubian. Wendish has only about 1200 speakers and is highly endangered. All speakers are bilingual or trilingual, speaking Wendisch, German and many of them Low Saxon. Allmost all speakers are elderly and despite efforts in recent years to introduce Wendish in education and media the number of speakers are declining as younger people usally speak German as their first language.

====Allophony====
Dravenian vowels in unreduced pretonic syllables are sometimes pronounced slightly different to stress bearing syllables.
The sound y is pronounced [y(:)] is stress bearing syllables, but as [i] in pre tonic position. Speaker with stronger German influence usually pronounce the y as [y] in this position.
The sound ö is pronounced as [œ(:)] in stressed syllables but as [] in pretonic syllables. Speakers with strong German influence in their pronounciation tend to neglect this and pronounce the sound ö as [œ] in all position.
The sound ė is pronounced as [e(:)] in stressed syllables and as [i] in pretonic syllables.
The sound oa can be pronounced as either [] or []
The nasal vowels ą and o are pronounced as [ã] and [õ~ũ] in open syllables. In closed syllables the nasal are pronounced as [a] and [u] plus an homoorganic vowel.

Each noun belongs to a declensional class and is inflected according to one of the three following accentual patterns: acrostatic (a), hysterokinetic (b) or amphikinetic (c).
