Malęcino [malɛnˈt͡ɕinɔ] (German : Mallenzin) [1] is a village in Gmina Miastko, Bytów County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, on the border with West Pomeranian Voivodeship. It lies approximately 43 kilometres (27 mi) south-west of Bytów and 121 km (75 mi) south-west of Gdańsk (capital city of the Pomeranian Voivodeship).
German is a West Germanic language that is mainly spoken in Central Europe. It is the most widely spoken and official or co-official language in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Tyrol (Italy), the German-speaking Community of Belgium, and Liechtenstein. It is also one of the three official languages of Luxembourg and a co-official language in the Opole Voivodeship in Poland. The languages which are most similar to German are the other members of the West Germanic language branch: Afrikaans, Dutch, English, the Frisian languages, Low German/Low Saxon, Luxembourgish, and Yiddish. There are also strong similarities in vocabulary with Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, although those belong to the North Germanic group. German is the second most widely spoken Germanic language, after English.
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement.
Gmina Miastko is an urban-rural gmina in Bytów County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. Its seat is the town of Miastko, which lies approximately 37 kilometres (23 mi) west of Bytów and 115 km (71 mi) west of the regional capital Gdańsk.
From 1975 to 1998 the village was in Słupsk Voivodeship.
Słupsk Voivodeship was a unit of administrative division and local government in Poland from 1975 to 1998, previously part of Szczecin Voivodeship (1945–50) and Koszalin Voivodeship (1950–75), superseded by Pomeranian Voivodeship and West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Its capital city was Słupsk. The Pomeranian province has a Tri-city with Słupsk as the 4th City, but it was supposed to be the third or second but the city of Gdansk did not want it as there were political issues.
It has a population of 79.
