Article Evaluation

Kashubian

-lack citations, especially in the beginning sections -sections are brief -most likely don't contain all relevant historical information, ie. impact of the USSR, cause and effect of the Kashubian diaspora on the language -contains literature and education sections that could be linked to revitalization -lacks post World War II literature examples -contains phonemes and alphabet but not typology or syntax -lacks information on construction of words, morphemes, affixes, conjugation, details in general (excluding individual sounds) -most linguistic analysis is done in specialized wording making it inaccessible for non-linguists -lacks clear information on why it is debated to be a dialect or a language/ evidence for each claim -information/distinction between Kashubian dialects is unclear, ie. saying "depends on dialect" without specifying how

Overall: The article has good general information, though maybe lacks a clear current position of Kashubian and a more detailed description of how the language works.

Jan Trepczyk was a poet who wrote in Kashubian, as was Stanisław Pestka. Kashubian literature has been translated into Czech, Polish, English, German, Belarusian, Slovene and Finnish. A considerable body of Christian literature has been translated into Kashubian, including the New Testament, much of it by Fr. Adam Ryszard Sikora (OFM).[21] Rev. Franciszek Grucza[22] graduated from a Catholic seminary in Pelplin. He was the first priest to introduce Catholic liturgy in Kashubian language.

Kashubian literature has multiple significant authors in its fold. There are multiple old texts, particularly translations of religious materials, as well as newer books and poems written in more recent times. Religious Texts One of the earliest recorded artifacts of written Kashubian dates back to the 15th century and is a book of spiritual psalms. This is called Duchowne piesnie which was translated in 1586 from the Lutheran church. Another of such texts was the Mały Catechism (Little Catechism) which was written in 1643 this time translated from the Catholic church. There are also much newer religious texts such as Perykopy smołdzinskie (Smoldzinski Pericope) and Śpiewnik starokaszubski (Old Kashubian songbook) translated into Kashubian in 1967.
