TheLusatian dialects (Standard German:Lausitzisch) areEast Central German (High German) dialects spoken in southernBrandenburg and easternSaxony. The name "Lusatian" derives from the termLusatia, meaning the dialects of Lusatia. They are most closely related toSilesian German.

Berlin and Brandenburg originally lay in theLow German language area. Through immigration to Berlin from (then)Central German-speaking regions likeSilesia and Saxony, the city's Low German dialect has been strongly influenced by Central German, so that it evolved from a Low German into a Central German (High German) variant, which then spread from Berlin to the surrounding areas of Brandenburg.

TheSlavic languages ofLower andUpper Sorbian, which are spoken in Lusatia as well, are also sometimes referred to asLusatian languages.
