   » [...] ist der Titel einer seit *1982* der Fachwelt bekannt gewordenen   
   Wortliste mit Übersetzungen von 215 Wörtern vom Polnischen in eine   
   untergegangene baltische Sprache.«   
      
   My asterisks. The whole article is fascinating, if you don’t have German   
   I’m   
   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.
