	Yotvingians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Yotvingians or Yatvingians, (Latvian: Jātvingi, Lithuanian: Jotvingiai, Polish: Jaćwingowie, Belarusian: Яцьвягі) are one of the extinct Baltic tribes.
		Yotvingian culture and language (called Yotvingian or Sudovian) is closest to Prussian.
		In the 13th century some of them took refuge in Lithuania and were partially assimilated by the Lithuanians and partially conquered and dispersed by the Teutonic Knights.

	Balts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among the Baltic peoples are modern Lithuanians and Latvians as well as the Prussians, Yotvingians and Curonians, whose languages were extinct in the Middle Ages.
		Their culture is easily recognizable and most probably they were the ancestors of the tribes of Western Balts (Prussians, Yotvingians and Galindians), as well as Eastern Balts (Lithuanians, Curonians and Latvians), notable during the Middle Ages.
		The Baltic culture that remained in the Dneper area, although bore significant resemblance to its Baltic counterpart, was also similar to culture of other peoples inhabitating the forests of Eastern Europe and became almost completely Slavicised between 7th and 10th centuries.

	The name of the country (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		At the end of the 19-th century this name came to be used also in reference to the people who spoke the languages, the Lithuanians, Latvians and the extinct Yotvingians and Prussians.
		The name of the Yotvingians disappeared together with their assimilation by other Baltic and Slavic tribes.
		After their subjugation by the Germans, their name was taken over by the new masters of the land and that was how it came down in history not as the name of a heroic people who fought for their freedom to their last breath but as the name of the great citadel of German militarism.

	Encyclopedia: Sejny
		In the early Middle Ages the area of modern Sejny was inhabitated by the Yotvingians, one of the Baltic Tribes that had arived to the area in the 1st millenium.
		In the effect of the expansion of the Teutonic Order, the area was almost entirely depopulated and only small remnants of the Yotvingian settlements remained to our times.
		In 14th century the area was a scene of constant struggles between the Lithuanians and the Teutons and indeed the first written mention of the area where the town now lies dates back to 1385 and mentions an armed raid of the German knights from Merecz to GiÅ¼ycko.

		It is assumed by historians, archeologists and linguists that in the course of the 5th–9th centuries the resident area of the Balts saw the differentiation of separate tribes, i.e.
		In the 12th–14th c.c., new processes took root, tribal consolidation among them, resulting in the disappearance of ones and stronger influence of others with the final outcome of the 13th century – the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
		In the 17th century, ancient melodies were smothered by newly made lyrical melodies, those which later, step by step, formed the basic layer of Lithuanian folk melodies.

	Poetry of Kornelijus Platelis
		And while It has not set among us, while blood Does not gush onto the bleached linen shirt, While the heavy odor of souls, The cry of victory and the moans of the dying Have not yet darkened the sun, Let's watch How it rises.
		Lord, Here I am, still alive, but on my way Out of your beautiful world, on the hard road to heaven, Riding in front of your divine spear, Repeating the dread song of victory and death.
		Turn us into your lightning, into the spirit of vengeance, The whirlwind of sacred fury, And may each of our sighs be a fl gust of death!

		The Lithuanians were formed out of a combination of three Balt tribes known as the Samogitians, the Aukstaitiai, and the Yotvingians.
		Though the Balts had been in the area since 2000 B.C., this new combination settled in the region of modern-day Lithuania in around the 12th century A.D. Now powerful in their unity, Lithuania repelled the Livonian knights as well as a series of Teutonic interlopers to become one of the largest principalities in Europe.
