The North-Western group is a dialectal group of the Pomorian language spoken mostly in the eastern part of [[w:Puck County|Puck County]] and in [[w:Rumia|Rumina]], [[w:Reda, Poland|Reda]] and [[w:Gmina Wejherowo|Weiherinå]] gminas (which are the western part of Pomorze wschodnie in Poland). It is often referred to as '''pamarėska uzskądoja''' (Western Pomorian), sometimes also as '''pumurėlina guora/galba''' and is considered being a separate language by its native speakers. It's the third most widely spoken dialect currently. | The North-Western group is a dialectal group of the Pomorian language spoken mostly in the eastern part of [[w:Puck County|Puck County]] and in [[w:Rumia|Rumina]], [[w:Reda, Poland|Reda]] and [[w:Gmina Wejherowo|Weiherinå]] gminas (which are the western part of Pomorze wschodnie in Poland).

Western dialects started diverging from Old Pomorian approximately in the VIth-VIIth century, which is a very long time for a dialect. It came from lands in between [[w:Masuria|Masuria]] and Ziemia lubawska and slowly migrated to its current lands by the end of the XIII century. During this time Western Pomorians came into contact with slavic Pomeranians and their dialect was influenced by [[w:Slovincian language|Slovincian]] and [[w:Kashubian language|Kashubian]] spoken there. A partial assimilation with those peoples gave birth to Northern and South-Western dialects. | Western dialects started diverging from Old Pomorian approximately in the VIth-VIIth century, which is a very long time for a dialect and is more typical for a language.

From the XIII century onwards, Western Pomorians dispersed on the rest Pomorian territory intermixing with local population. During this process Central and Southern dialectal groups began forming and thus creating a dialectal continuum from Western to Eastern groups of dialects. | From the XIII century onwards, Western Pomorians dispersed on the rest Pomorian territory intermixing with local population.
