Page "Pomeranian language" Paragraph 14

It has been proved, though, that the medieval inhabitants of Pomerania, who were the ancestors of the present Kashubians, did not call themselves Kashubians.

It is not mentioned in the preserved sources what they called their language then.

The analysis of geographical names in written sources shows that in the Early Middle Ages, Slavic inhabitants of the whole of Pomerania used various dialects of one language.

Today, linguists usually refer to these dialects as “ Pomeranian dialects ”.

According to chronicles, the only common name for this territory was “ Pomerania ” and for its inhabitants “ Pomeranians ”.
