Encyclopedic overview
Slovincian (Slovincian: slôvjinskjy, IPA: [slɵˈvjinskjɪ]; Polish: słowiński [swɔˈvij̃skʲi]; Kashubian: słowińsczi [swɔˈviɲst͡ɕi]; German: Slowinzisch) was a Lechitic 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.
