No, in german "welsch" always means a romance language (in most
cases french, but also italian and even romanian can fill in). Note
also "rotwelsch".

The "generic" term for slavonic languages is "wendisch" or "windisch"
derived form the formerly slavonic "Wenden", settling in a region
called "Wendland" (approximately identical to today's Landkreis
L�chow-Danneberg, north of Uelzen).
