The Old Southern dialectal group began dying out in the XVth and XVIth centuries with Pomorians slowly switching to German (and then to Polish) as the language of prestige. It completely died out in the XIXth century, but some people who lived in small remote villages near areas of [[w:Suwałki Voivodeship|Suvyucyja]] continued speaking an intermediate dialect, which is now known as Ežerina.
