		As in Ireland, Wales and Brittany, where a language is no longer needed as a means of practical communication, it begins to die out, irrespective of the strong cultural and emotional attachment speakers may have and despite official backing.
		The language is best preserved in the countryside, in particular in the so-called Catholic villages west of Bautzen which, perhaps due to their traditional isolation within a predominantly Protestant region, have held more faithfully to their traditions.
		Cut off as it is from the other Slavic languages by areas of German settlement to the east and south of Lusatia, Sorbian has not gone without a strong German influence, not only in vocabulary but also in phonology and syntax.

	Germanisation of the land between the Elbe-Saale and the Oder rivers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The scale of Germanic colonisation of Polabian lands presents a real difficulty.Any estimation of population movements in Middle Ages is highly speculative.This leaves a large margin for interpretation of scarce data.Estimations, of that type, are also quite often affected by the factors of political and nationalistic character, whether conscious or not.
		The former Polabian lands, with the exception of the Baltic coast and its towns, which suffered as badly as the rest of western Germany, were affected much less.
		So, the strong presence of Polabian Slavs in various sources as well as their survival as a distinct linguistic group is cumulatively convincing that germanization of the region was not a result of mass colonization, but rather large scale loss of the ethnic identity.
