Slovincian is an extinct language according to the classification system of the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger
[3]
Slovincian (Slovincian: Slôvjinskjy (IPA: /slɵˈvjinskjɪ/), Polish: Słowiński (IPA: /swɔˈviɲski/), Kashubian: Słowińsczi (IPA: /swɔˈviɲst͡ɕi/) is an extinct language formerly spoken by the Slovincians living between lakes Gardno and Łebsko near Słupsk in Pomerania.[4]
Slovincian is classified either as a language (first by Friedrich Lorentz[5]), or as a Kashubian dialect[6][7][8][9] or variant,[10][11]. Slovincian and Kashubian are both classified as Pomeranian.[10][11] See §classification.
Slovincian became extinct in the early twentieth century ultimately due to stigmatization from German occupants.[12][10][11] However, individual words and expressions survived until after World War II, when the region became Polish. Some Slovincians were expelled along with the Germans.[13] Of those allowed to stay, a few elderly people had fragmentary knowledge of Slovincian until the 1950s.[13]
It is disputed whether Slovincians actually used that name, given to them by the Russian academic Aleksander Hilferding, for themselves. The synonym Lebakaschuben (Łebsko Kashubians) is also used. Some scholars believe that Slovincians regarded themselves merely as Lutheran Kashubians and their language as Kashubian. Nevertheless, the name "Slovincian" prevails in literature and is also used officially, for example in Słowiński Park Narodowy (Slovincian National Park), a protected area on the Polish Pomeranian coast.
