Koschneiderisch is a part of East Low German East Pomeranian dialect that is either moribund or used to be spoken in Pomerania (now Northwestern Poland, previously part of Germany). It is part of the Low German language. In or shortly after World War II, the Koschneiderisch-speaking German inhabitants of the region were largely expelled to western Germany. It has palatalization of the k-sound, resulting in a sound similar to the ć-sound of the Polish language. [1] Koschneiderisch includes a limited number of High German words. [1]
