    German Wikipedia has a fascinating article https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poga%C5%84ske_gwary_z_Narewu
    about a centuries-old glossary that translates 215 words between
    Polish and a lost Baltic language (Sudovian aka Yotvingian).

    about a centuries-old glossary that translates 215 words between
    Polish and a lost Baltic language (Sudovian aka Yotvingian).

    -+ [...] ist der Titel einer seit *1982* der Fachwelt bekannt gewordenen Wortliste mit |Lbersetzungen von 215 W||rtern vom Polnischen in eine untergegangene baltische Sprache.-2

    My asterisks. The whole article is fascinating, if you donrCOt have German IrCOm
    sure Google Translate does a not-terrible job.

    The other language Wikipedia articles are shorter than the German, with the exception of the in one of the variants of White Russian (I am uncertain how to spell the loanword name of the language these days.)

    Thanks, Christian.
