Distribution of the West Slavic languages and dialects.
Balto-Slavic languages.
The West Slavic languages are a subdivision of the Slavic language group.[1] They include Polish, Czech, Slovak, Kashubian, Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian.[1] The languages have traditionally been spoken across a mostly continuous region encompassing the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland,[1] the westernmost regions of Ukraine and Belarus, and a bit of eastern Lithuania.[citation needed] In addition, there are several language islands such as the Sorbian areas in Lusatia in Germany,[1] and Slovak areas in Hungary and elsewhere.[2]
