	NSG - About the Sorbs/Wends
		Not even in later times did Sorbian develop into one uniform written language, for it was never an official state language and thus there had never been a compelling reason or necessity for a common means of communication.
		The Sorbian language of today is distinguished not only by the fact that it has two written languages, but also by the fact that there are considerable differences between the dialects which are still spoken.
		Today Sorbian is used not only in everyday speech but also in a number of subjects as they are taught in school, and is used in cultural institutions and organisations, in churches and in certain instances in official communications by State and local authorities.
