The Schleifer dialect (Sorbian Slepjanska narěč or slepjanšćina ) is a transitional dialect of the Upper and Lower Sorbian languages ​​spoken in the Schleifer region . Among the Sorbian dialects, the Schleifer dialect is most closely related to the Muskau dialect , whose language territory is adjacent to the east. These two dialects are assigned to Lower Sorbian rather than Upper Sorbian by Slavists .

The Schleifer dialect is mostly passed on orally and has no modern written language of its own. Therefore, documents in the Schleifer dialect do not correspond to any standardized grammar or are mixed with one of the two standard languages.

The Sorbian half- farmer Hanso Nepila from Rohne , who was the first non-religious writer to write in Sorbian, wrote his texts exclusively in the Schleifer dialect. One of the largest collections of historical inscriptions in the Schleifer dialect can also be found on the historical tombstones of the Rohne cemetery.

Within the distribution area, which almost coincides with that of Schleifer Tracht , there are slight differences between Groß Düben and Halbendorf on the one hand, and the other five villages on the other.

The Kólesko association, founded in 2011 in the parish of Runde, is concerned with the documentation, publication and maintenance of the Schleifer dialect, the songs and the Schleifer costume. For their "outstanding contribution to the revitalization of the Sorbian grinder", the Kólesko members Juliana Kaulfürst and Dieter Reddo received the Zejler Prize of the Saxon State Ministry for Science and Art in 2018 .
