		Bart had no idea about the real state of the Lusatian issues and organised on the 22nd of February 1919 mass demonstration during which he ensured gathered people that the question of independent Lusatia is already won and that all politicians are working on ensuring the prosperity of the future state.

		Language policy wouldn’t depend any longer on Berlin’s caprice; Sorbian could be given a chance of becoming a real official language of the Land, hence increasing its prestige.

	Veneti Are the Beginning of the Slovenian Nation by Ivan Tomaic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In my opinion the closest to the truth is the theory that new languages were formed on the basis of some primeval European language, similarly as Neo-Latin languages evolved from the Latin language.
