		Lusatian Sorbs, also known as Lusatians, Sorbs or Wends, are perhaps the least known of the Slavonic peoples and, because of their name, are often confused with the Yugoslav Serbs.
		Lusatians are the last survivors of the once numerous Slavonic tribes who inhabited a large area between the rivers Elbe and Oder.
		Lusatian Sorbs are linguistically and culturally related to their two Slavonic neighbours and there are also historical links with both countries.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Slavs

		The Lusatian Sorbs are Catholics with exception of 15,000 in Upper Lusatia.

		Further, one can also claim, that the at-that-time strongest Lusatian culture absorbed most of the elements of this primeval language, and that it was the starting point for later Slavic language.
		If in fact the Lusatian culture is the birthplace of Slavic language then this language should also be the language of the peoples of Urn-field culture.
		And in fact it was found that along all the main spreading routes of the Urn-field culture the Slavic languages are still present or at least their traces.

	Sixty Folk-tales from Slavonic Sources: Upper and Lower Lusatian Stories: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		THE Upper Lusatian language is spoken in a district which may be marked by the towns of Löbau, Bautzen, and Muskau, while the Lower Lusatians dwell round the towns of Spremberg and Kottbus.
		Of the Upper Lusatians the larger portion live in Saxony and the smaller in Prussian territory; the Lower Lusatians are all Prussian subjects.
		The Lower Lusatian tale is a variant of our own 'Little Red Ridinghood.' But it completes the story in such a manner as to explain the allegorical meaning of the narrative in the sense in which I am inclined to interpret it, as will be shown at the conclusion of the story.

	Relict Forms of Balts' National Costume - Alicje Bednarczuk
		This style began to dominate in the Polish territory throughout the period of Lusatian Culture, penetrating also to the culture of the Balts, for whom it was for centuries a creative inspiration from the Iron Age till the early Middle Ages.
		Chronologically, the Nordic imports and inspirations in the Baltic culture are later in relation to the Early Lusatian ones and the centre of their diffusion was South-East Sweden, the Gotland and the Alands.
		The preservation of the Lusatian style in the embellishments of the Balts for many centuries and epochs and its long continuation similarly as in Pre-Slavonic tribes may prove its great attractiveness.

	Europa Veneta
		We refer to the Indo-European language of these peoples as Proto-Celtic and to their civilization as La Tene culture (c 400 - c 15 B.C.E.) Keeping this paradigm in mind, it will be somewhat easier for the reader to envisage the probabilities of historical accuracy in the following iconoclastic theses defended by the book.
		A Proto-Slavic speech community had divided into Proto-West Slavic and Proto-East Slavic dialects some time before the formation of the Lusatian Culture (c 1300-c 1100 B.C.E) and had also extended throughout a great part of Western and Central Europe and as far as Pamphlagonia, the northern coast of Asia Minor.

	languagehat.com: SORBS IN THE NEWS.
		Sorbian (also called Wendish and Lusatian) is a Slavic language (a fact oddly unmentioned in the BYU article), closely related to Polish [and Czech—thanks, Mark!]; here is a detailed discussion of its history and place in contemporary Germany, and here are versions of "Silent Night" in both High and Low Sorbian.
		Their case has been passed over and ignored by the majority of the Press, and they have been considered too insignificant to be worthy of any kind of independence.
		My man R.G.A. de Bray says Lower Lusatian is closer to Polish (retention of g, development of vocalic l and r) and Upper Lusatian closer to Czech (g>h); I'll amend the entry accordingly, and append de Bray's passionate pro-Sorb peroration.

		At the same time several dozens of Lusatian Serbs were released from the POW camps located on the Polish territory, twenty Lusatian Serbs came to Polish universities and the Polish government financially supported the cultural centers of Lusatian Serbs.
		However, in the sphere of diplomacy, Warsaw was rather modest and except of the expressed sympathies and probes of its Czechoslovak and Soviet partners did not intend to resolve the Lusatian question.
		Prague and Warsaw were dissociating from the Lusatian question declaring the readiness to support the partner only in the case of its appearance in the Lusatian matter.

	Arkeologi och Antik historia: Publications
		A reasonable explanation for similarities in the material cultures can be that they are products of long-term contacts, perhaps originating in connections between the Lusatian culture and other urnfield groups on the continent and eastern Scandinavia already during the Late Bronze Age – Early Iron Age.
		Regular contacts between high ranking groups in different geographic areas could eventually have developed into a close relationship between certain groups of the Wielbark culture and groups of people in Scandinavia, visible in similarities in material culture, language and burial customs.
		The archaeological record could indicate that Jordanes´ history concerning the origin of the Goths was based on an oral tradition with some sort of real background.

		Anyway the fact is, that knowledge of iron working haven't been practiced on wider scale as was the case of Older Iron Age or Hallstatt period, where both arms and tools been made out of iron.
		As simple rule of history, the time of stabilization is replaced by destruction and devastation: this time clearly nomadic tribes of Scythic (or akin) origin are the actors, either by direct presence or by destruction of trade and exchange routes.
		Snaffles, side racks and distributors could be found in hoards or as individual objects, even in northern regions under Lusatian control.

		Ar age of 14.52 ± 0.08 (0.40) [2 sigma] Ma, and demonstrates that the fall of Lusatian and Bohemian tektites were contemporaneous.
		Because of their geochemistry and their ages there is no doubt that the Lusatian tektites are moldavites.

		This character, plus other significant facts, justifies the interpretation that the discovered remnants once constituted parts of a Lusatian workshop.
		The deduction of the authors is that Lusatian people, probably from Poland, repeatedly prospected the area around Vistad for raw iron materials.
		At the end of the Bronze Age parts of Scandinavia more or less embraced the Lusatian Culture, as indicated by peoples’ acceptance of new ideas concerning religion, usage and customs, craft, conception of form and æsthetics.

	The Sorbs or Wendish People
		An ancient Slavic people also known as Lusatian Sorbs, they had resisted assimilation in Europe for over 1,000 years, preserving their own language and customs though not their political independence.
		There are two versions of Sorbian, also called Sorbic, Wendish or Lusatian, corresponding to the divisions of the Lusatian region.
		In the Middle Ages, Wend was the German name for all West Slavs, however, and as a result it came to symbolize the Germanization of the Wends that began in the 9th century with the Carolingians and continued through the Weimar Republic and the Nazi period.
