If you want to learn Lower Sorbian in person, Cottbus is one of the few places that has a school with the option to learn the language.

 

As Lower Sorbian is one of the many languages used in Germany, the language has been greatly influenced by German.

Is Lower Sorbian A Dying Language?

Lower Sorbian isn’t a dying language. But, as there are only 7,000 active Lower Sorbian speakers, it is considered an endangered language. Not to mention, people that speak Lower Sorbian are usually of the older generations.

What’s The Difference Between Sorbian And Lower Sorbian?

Yes, there’s Sorbian, also known as Upper Sorbian (serbska rěč), and Lower Sorbian (serbska rěc).

 

Both of these languages are grouped under the West Slavic branch of the Indo-European languages, which means they are very similar to the two West Slavic subgroups: Lechitic and Czech–Slovak.
