Wend: Lower...
"Wend, also known as Sorbian or Lusatian, is spoken by less than
100,000 people in southern East Germany.   The smallest of the
Slavic languages (as regards number of speakers), Wend is
spoken in two main dialects: Upper Wend in Ober Lausitz, and
Lower Wend, the northern dialect, in Nieder Lausitz.

In the Lower Wend area, the Spree River divides into several
intertwining courses, creating hundreds of islands.   Each of these
islands, during the period from the German settlement of the
area in the 10th and 11th centuries until the 1800’s, served as both
a bastion for defense and an enclosed community, fostering local
traditions and dialects.   Many of these colorful traditions are still
maintained, as are the local variations in Wend speech."
