» [...] 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.
