Talk:Kashubian language

message: The link Slavonic language takes a long time to load because it has to re-direct to Slavic languages.  I'm going to change it to "Slavic language," Slavic being the most conventional English term anyway.

message: This article claims more than once both that Kashubian is a dialect and that it is a separate language.  Neither piece of information is useful unless it excludes the other.  So which is it, dialect or language?  Or if you want to say that both are claimed, then what is the story about this disagreement?  Deipnosophista (talk) 17:28, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: As a Polish native speaker I understand like 30% of Kashubian. Meanwhile I understand 90% of Ukrainian. If Ukrainian is a separate language, Kashubian is even more. 46.205.192.76 (talk) 20:30, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @46.205.192.76 the view that Kashubian is a dialect started in the 20th century informed somewhat by a lack of knowledge and somewhat by nationalistic views. Almost no linguist today would call it a dialect, that's very much a fringe theory. Vininn126 (talk) 23:14, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

message: Any scholarly first hand (not an encyclopedia, like Price's, note 9) reference for any such lexical or other influence of Old Prussian (or any other Baltic language) on Kashubian? I'd be rather surprised...

replies: text:  In fact, a Kashubian scholar whom I approached on that confirmed that while there are many more Germanisms (meaning: from High German) in K. than in standard Polish, few of them are from Low German (Low German started waning and losing status, being superceded by High Germany, in the early XVI century, so an old Low German influence on K. would have to have been much stronger than a more recent one from High German, which is hardly believable, if you know the situation here in Central-Northern Europe). Nor did she know any Baltic loanwords in K., she said 'some few scattered loanwords perhaps' and at best, by 'Prussian', she surmised, 'Prussian German' might have been meant, but even that she hardly knew anything about. Besides, for a time (in the XIX c.) Kashubia was (part of what was called) 'Western Prussia', so 'Prussian German' in this sense would mean 'official German in Kashubia' and that variant of German certainly heavily influenced Kashubian, no doubt about it. In short, while an average Anglo-Saxon reader has a very sketchy, spotty and confused idea of the linguistic, historical, ethnic, political and other relevant realities in this part of Europe, much in this article is bound to confuse her/him even more. 134.95.94.30 (talk) Wojciech Żełaniec  —Preceding undated comment added 09:09, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
