Yes I understood that, but I'm saying it would be interesting to know which other places is a similar situation of not a regularly spoken language. Since I don't speak any Scandinavian language and know very few latin languages, I have no context of which of these are historic etymologic notations versus a word people actually use, but I bet there are a lot of them.

The two sorbic languages marked in Eastern Germany are only spoken by small minorities.
