		More broadly the Kashubs are part of a Slavic group that lives further west than the Poles, but which speak a similar language from the Lekhitic sub-group of Slavic languages.
		Collectively these people have been called Wends (particularly in histories of the early middle ages), although the subgroups are the (still existent) Sorbs of Germany, the Kashubs of Poland, their close relatives the until recently identifiable Slovincians of Germany, assimilated Pomeranians of Germany, and the linguistically extinct Polabians from a bit further west in Germany.
		In this case, I was alerted by the fact that the new leader of Poland, Donald Tusk, is a Kashub.

A Kashub, instead, used the old Slavic noun "rzec," borrowed the verb "kiss" from some Flemish sailor and preserved the old form of the pronoun "me" that had been used by his ancestors.
		In any case, Szymon Bald's father was a captain in the Prussian army, who later, in spite of a dearth of bigger wars, or maybe thanks to it, advanced to lieutenant-colonel and went on to place his two sons in a school for cadets in Berlin.
