| | Lusatia without the Sorbs and the Sorbian language is a thing many people still find hard to imagine. | | | Although the number of WITAJ-children is quite small, the fact that such a model has been developed and come into existence is crucial because of very low prestige of Sorbian in many regions of Lusatia and antagonistic stereotypes of the German-speaking inhabitants. | | | Conclusions: To sum up, we may conclude that after forty years of life behind the Iron Curtain and another, rather a passive decade of looking for new forms of national life during the 1990s, visible changes in attitudes towards the language policy and language planning are setting in Lusatia today. |
