 In Slovenia there are some families who preserved Gottscheerish in spite of the ban after World War II.Today, however, there are probably no more children learning it as first language.Most Gottscheerish speakers live in Moschnitze valley (Črmošnjiško-Poljanska dolina) between Kočevske Poljane and Črmošnjice, where some Gottscheer families collaborated with the partisan movement and therefore were allowed to stay.
