Sorb people
The Sorb people are a Slavic ethnic group primarily found in the region of Lusatia in eastern Germany. They are known for their unique language, Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian, which are part of the West Slavic language family. The Sorbs have a rich cultural heritage, including traditional costumes, music, and festivals that celebrate their history and identity.
Historically, the Sorbs have faced challenges in preserving their language and culture due to assimilation pressures. Despite this, they maintain a strong sense of community and continue to promote their traditions through education and cultural events. The Sorbs are recognized as a national minority in Germany, which helps protect their rights and cultural practices.
