  Sudovians - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Sudovians are an extinct subgroup of Baltic people, that used to live at the left coast of river Nemunas, in the region known as Sudovia, territory today belonging to Lithuania and Poland.
Another extinct Baltic group of Yotvingians is sometimes referred to as Sudovians as well.
Large parts of the Prussian Sudovian territory was conquered under the Polish - Lithuanian Jagiellonians and Sudovians were either exterminated, assimilated or took refuge as Protestants in the Duchy of Prussia.

 Martin of Golin - William Urban
Conrad the Devil was a Samlander, Kudar a Sudovian, and Nakaim was from Pogesania; Stovemel's origin was a mystery.
The Sudovian pagans allowed the fugitives to run, believing it unlikely that they could catch any of them, and turned their energies to collecting the weapons and booty; then they sat down to eat the crusaders' meal; and, toward evening, exhausted from their formidable efforts, they lay down to sleep.
Martin was pleased to take home the additional weapons and armor that the Sudovians had brought with them, because the booty was divided among the participants.

The town must have received the name from the lake (that means "chicken") and was built in the beginning of the 16th century during the colonization of southern territories in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
On the other hand nobody denied a hypothesis the old Prussians or the Sudovians might have settled around fleeing from the Teutonic crusaders in the 15th century as dialect of town dwellers slightly differs from the rest dialect group in Southern Lithuania.
After the third partition of the Commonwealth in 1795 the whole Sudovian territory fell under Prussian rule and Viðtytis became a Prussian royal town with nearly 300 houses and 1.600 dwellers.

Sudovians or Yatviags (in Russian) inhabited vast forest regions between the Neman and the Narev rivers.
The stress is very complicated: Sudovian had the same four nominal accent classes as does Lithuanian, but it retained the original accentual state of Baltic (an acute rising accent and a circumflex falling accent).
Sudovian verbs have three simple tenses, 3 or 4 moods and a large number of verbal nouns as participles and the infinitive.

Sudovians and Lithuanians managed to survive in their former lands.
Their ornaments and pottery dating from the time of the “golden age” to the tenth century are found in present northern Poland as far south as the lower Bug, and the upper Pripet swamps.
The Sudovians, who in the first four centuries inhumed their dead under stone-covered barrows, started cremation rites in the fifth century.

Many centuries later, Sudovians and Galindians continued to be designated by these same names in the list of Prussian tribes.
Sudovians, the largest Prussian tribe, were also called Jatvingians (Jotvingai; Jatwiagi of the Slavic sources).
The southern extent of the Prussians along the River Bug, a tributary of the Vistula, is indicated by the Prussian river names.

 Belarus - Yatviahi People   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Their name was Yatviahi in Belarusian, Jacwingowie in Polish, Sudawen in German, Sudovians or Yatvingians in English.
In 13th Century Sudovians were exterminated by Teutonic Knights.
Contemporary "Sudovian rebirthment movement", in my opinion, is rather a demonstration of pro-Baltic, pro-Western and anti-Moscowian feelings of part of Belarusian intelligentsya, than a real aspirant people movement.

 Masuria Report, History
In 1277 the Order started a well-organized armed expedition against the Sudovians living south of Lake Löwentin and near Mierunsken (northeast of Marggrabowa), which was under the leadership of Land Master Konrad of Thierberg.
At the same time, a few Sudovian chiefs undertook forays into the land of the Order, which were successful for the moment.
One part of the Sudovian residents were expelled by the German Order, another 1,600 of them were relocated to the "Sudovian Corner" of Samland.

 Summaries in English (main texts only)
It is impossible to write about any other metropoly located in Polishterrains, and just as improbable for the chronicler to have echoed information about the brief capture by Bolesław of Prague or Kiev, or the imprisonment of the bishop of Poznań in the Empire.
The missions conducted by Bruno, apart from the mentioned ones among the Hungarians, Swedes and Pechenegs as well as the Sudovians, were probably planned by Otto III in the pagan lands of the Western Slavs.
Presumably, it was exactly in connection with plans for a mission along the Elbe that Bolesław the Brave could be described as a „collaborator of the Emperor”, organising upon the basis of Międzyrzecz a Christianisation campaign which the Empire was incapable of conducting.

 Lithuanians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The territory of the Balts, including modern Lithuania, was once inhabited by several Baltic tribal entities (Sudovians, Curonians, Selonians, Samogitians, Nadruvians and others), as attested by ancient sources and dating from prehistoric times.
Apart from the various religious and ethnic groups currently residing in Lithuania, Lithuanians themselves are usually divided into 5 groups: Samogitians, Sudovians, Aukštaitians, Dzukians and Lietuvininks, the last of which is extinct.
A 2004 analysis of MtDNA in a Lithuanian population revealed that Lithuanians are close to both Slavic (Indo-European) and Finno-Ugric-speaking populations of Northern and Eastern Europe.
