	Upper and Lower Sorbian language, alphabet and pronunciation
		Sorbian, or Wendisch, is a member of the West Slavic subgroup of Indo-European languges spoken by about 55,000 people in Upper and Lower Lusatia in the German Länder of Saxony and Brandenburg.
		In the mid-19th century, written Upper Sorbian based on the dialect spoken around Bautzen was introduced as the compulsory standard in the Sorbian-speaking area in Upper Lusatia, while written Lower Sorbian based on the Cottbus dialect was introduced as the standard written form in Lower Lusatia.
		Sorbian is taught as a subject in a number of secondary schools and used as a medium of instruction for some subjects.

	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.

	Euromosaic - Sorbian in Germany
		Sorbian is spoken in Upper and Lower Lusatia in the German Länder of Saxony and Brandenburg.
		The increase in the German-speaking population caused the number of Sorbian speakers to decline from some 30% to 10% of the total population, resulting in a reduction in the use of the Sorbian language in industrial enterprises and to a decline in the prestige of Sorbian in communication outside the family.
		Until the 10th century, Sorbian was spoken between the Bober and Queiß in the east and the Saale in the west, the Erz and Lusatian mountains in the south and roughly as far as Frankfurt on the Oder, Köpenick and Jüteborg.

		Upper Sorbian GUNTER SCHAARSCHMIDT University of Victoria The area inhabited by the Sorbs corresponds roughly to the regions of Upper Lusatia (Oberlausitz) for Upper Sorbian and Lower Lusatia (Niederlausitz) for Lower Sorbian.
		Upper Sorbian is classified as belonging to the West Slavic group of languages.
		However, Upper Sorbian (like Lower Sorbian) has a number of linguistic features that are not found in any of the other members of that group: it has retained the Old Slavic tense system with aorist, imperfect, and perfect past tenses.

	Abstract
		The Grammar of "Paraphrastic Imperfectives" in Latvian and Upper Sorbian
		Upper Sorbian, in contrast, has largely (but not completely) abandoned its formerly imperfectivizing morphology (or relegated it to other functions), and "paraphrastic imperfectives" are genuinely motivated by a need to express the meanings of prefixed perfective verbs in the imperfective aspect as well.
		In the Upper Sorbian literary language (as opposed to the dialects or colloquial language) this results in verbal paraphrases that are often lexically underspecified relative to the prefixed perfective verb (cf.

		In November 1989 assembled the sorbian popular assembly, whose target was the structural, programatic and personnel renewal of the Domowina and the representative of sorbian rights in the public.

	Essentialism and Relativism in Gaelic and Sorbian Language Revival Discourses
		Gaelic and Sorbian form enclaves in extremely influential, Germanic languages and are closely related to official languages of neighbouring countries (Irish in the case of Gaelic, Polish and Czech in the case of Sorbian).
		Sorbian (Wendish) belongs to the western branch of the Slavic subfamily of Indo-European languages.
		Monolingualism in the minority language is confined to infants, and the general pattern of language use ranges from a 'leaky' diglossia to the point where it is entirely symbolic and/or confined to specific occasions.

	Projekat Rastko - Luzica / Project Rastko - Lusatia
		Sorbs and Germans are particularly dedicated to preserving Sorbian national culture in the genres of music, dance, literature and the fine arts, and Sorbian and German amateur artists have worked closely together to develop this culture.
		The results of these efforts are outstanding achievements such as the competition organised each year by the Institute for Sorbian National Culture for the most beautiful Sorbian Easter egg, or the diverse range of works by individual artists in the field of national art, which bear comparison with the works of professional artists.
		An important vehicle for preserving Sorbian national culture for subsequent generations is provided by the festival of Sorbian children's theatre and young reciters and the festival of Sorbian children's songs and Sorbian music, which are traditionally organised by the Institute for Sorbian National Culture each year on an alternating basis.

		An increasingly influential current in creole studies considers there to have been no appreciable break in transmission or simplification in the birth of creole languages, instead treating creoles as gradual, relatively nondisruptive developments of their lexifiers amidst conditions of heavy language contact.
		This article outlines three features which in fact render creoles synchronically distinguishable from other languages, all three of them clear results of a break in transmission followed by a development period too brief for the traits to be undone as they have been in older languages.
		Here, we argue that Petronio and Lillo-Martin's interpretations of the data are incorrect and that their analysis cannot account for the facts of the language.
