Which article are you evaluating
I chose to evaluate the article on Kashubian Language

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am Polish and I speak it fluently. I have met many people who speak different polish dialects including the Kashubian Language and I find it fascinating how although our languages sound so similar, the differences make it nearly impossible to understand and communicate. Overall I find this language extremely interesting and sadly due to the growing influence of the polish language, the Kashubian Language is slowly becoming extinct.
