The Lechitic (or Lekhitic) languages are a language group consisting of Polish and several other languages that are or were spoken in areas of modern Poland and northeastern parts of modern Germany.〔(Lekhitic languages ), Encyclopædia Britannica. Retrieved July 2008〕 It is one of the branches of the larger West Slavic language family; the other branches of this family are the Czech–Slovak languages and the Sorbian languages. ==Languages== The Lechitic languages are: * Polish (ISO 639-1 code: ''pl'', ISO 639-2 code: ''pol''), used by approximately 38 million native speakers in Poland and several million elsewhere. Polish is considered to have several dialects, including Greater Polish, Lesser Polish and Masovian, among others. * Kashubian (ISO 639-2 code: ''csb''), used today by over 110,000 people (2011 census)〔(Narodowy Spis Powszechny Ludności i Mieszkań 2011.
