Yotvingians or Sudovians (also called Suduvians, Jatvians, or Jatvingians in English) (Lithuanian:Jotvingiai, Sūduviai; Latvian:Jātvingi; Polish:Jaćwingowie, Belarusian:Яцвягі, German:Sudauer) were a Baltic people with close cultural ties in 1200CE to the Lithuanians and Prussians. The Yotvingian language (sometimes called Sudovian) was a Western Baltic language nearest to Prussian, but with small variations. They were referred to in regional historical records into the 19th century.
