East Low German is a group of Low German dialects, including various varieties known as Pomeranian and Prussian, spoken in north-eastern Germany as well as by minorities in northern Poland. Together with West Low German, it constitutes Low German. Before 1945 the dialect was spoken along the entire GermanBaltic Coast, from Mecklenburg, through Pomerania, West Prussia into certain villages of the East Prussian Memel-Klaipėda Region.
The varieties known as Pomeranian (German: Pommersch) should not be confused with the West Slavic Pomeranian language (German: Pomoranisch).
