''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. | |||
