The Pomeranian language (Polish: pomorszczyzna or język pomorski; German: Pomoranisch or die pomoranische Sprache) is in the Pomeranian group of Lechitic languages (Polish: grupa pomorska języków lechickich; German: die pomoranische Gruppe der lechischen Sprachen) within the West Slavic languages.
In medieval contexts, it refers to the dialects spoken by the Slavic Pomeranians. In modern contexts, the term is sometimes used synonymously with "Kashubian" and may also include extinct Slovincian.
The name Pomerania comes from Slavic po moře, which means "[land] by the sea".[1]
