Pomeranian (German Pommersch) is a Low Saxon dialect. It is the language of the German Pomeranians in western Pomerania, which today is included in the Bundesland of Germany called Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is a form of Low Saxon with Slavic influence.

Pomeranian was also a group of Lekhitic dialects, sometimes called also the dialects of Polish. In the Middle Ages these dialects were spoken in all territory of Pomerania. Today the only living descendand of Lekhitic Pomeranian is Kashubian language spoken in Eastern Pomerania (Pomeranian Voivodship). A dialect of Kashubian language, Slovincian became extinct around 1945.
