Since ancient times, Kashubians have lived on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea on the territory of modern Poland, on the verge of the two largest linguistic and cultural elements of Europe - the world of Slavic and the world of Germanic peoples. The centuries of Germanization and Polonization did not prevent this ethnicgroup from surviving and preserving its original national culture, as well as an extremely peculiar, archaic and very interesting language for linguists. The appearance of the article is due to the desire to draw the attention of historians and ethnographers to this region of the united Europe, undeservedly devoted to oblivion and overlooked by modern researchers. Now that all undeserved accusations of collaboration with the fascistinvaders have been dropped from them, the Kashubs deserve close attention.
