Lekhitic languages
The Lechitic languages include three or possibly four languages spoken in eastern Europe, principally in Poland. (The precise classification of Slovincian is somewhat disputed). This language group is a branch of the larger West Slavic language family. The Lekhitic group includes:
- Polish- (SIL Code, PQL; ISO 639-1 code, pl; ISO 639-2 code, pol)
- Kashubian - (SIL Code, CSB; ISO 639-2 code, csb)
- Slovincian - an extinct dialect of Kashubian
- Polabian- extinct - (SIL Code, POX; ISO 639-2 code, sla)
The term "Lechitic" derives from the name of Lech, legendary ancestor of Lekhitic peoples and founder of Poland.
