Do people know about the sorbs in other Countries?
I‘m a half Upper Sorb from Saxony, I look very Slavic and have very typical Slavic face but i‘m very german.
Our culture is today very similar to the Polish-Ukrainian (pictures).
We are a minority in Germany of about 60.000, only 20.000 of them speak the sorbic language, which is a mix out of all the Countries our ancestors come.
Our ancestors traveled from the carparts (Austria via the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine and Romania to Serbia) in the first century.
I made a Long time s DNA Test, and have the optimal R1 Genotype results.
And they made very clear, i‘m a Slav-Germanic mix.

Not even most germans know about sorbs, and many who heard about them think they are the reason saxons sound funny.
A good friend’s elderly mother still speaks Sorb. He doesn’t, sadly.
I read that the Nazis declared Sorbs honorary Aryans bc they needed the men in the military.
