- | ==== About the Lower Sorbian Language ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Lower Sorbian (dolnoserbska rěc or Wendish) and Upper Sorbian (hornjoserbska rěč) are western Slavonic languages spoken in Lower Lusation (located in the German state Land of Brandenburg) and Upper Lusatia (located in the German state Free State of Saxony). Especially Lower Sorbian dialects are vanishing due to the major role of formal learning of the standard language in school. In central parts of Upper Lusatia there are still villages where Upper Sorbian is the first language and the family language of all generations. In Lower Lusatia the language is rarely passed on to to the next generation. | ||
