David Parker, you added a Sudovian language, which I did not. I do not know of a seperate Sudauer or Sudovian language, even though Jatwingian is recorded seperately.The Jatwiger-Sudauer inhabitants are recorded in southern Prussia, which reached further than it did in later years. Between circa 1700 and 1900 several Prussian Vocabularies (Woerterbuecher) were written, but I do not believe a seperate Sudovian language article should exist. --- Whoever you claim to be (and if you want to engage in discussion or have your "articles" taken seriously you can start by giving a NAME), there is no such word in the English langiage as Sudauer, and this is an-English-language encyclopedia.

Sudauer is perfectly legitimate in German Wikipedia, but has no legitimate existence here as a title. The English word for the German Sudauer is Sodovian or Sudovians.

Jatvingian (no w in English) is considered another name for or a part of a single language or dialect with the more common name Sudovian. It's stupid to put two equivalent names in the title. It's one or the other, with links from the less-used Jatvingian and Yotvongian.

You so far have Sudovian as a dialect of Old Prussian, and as a language in its own right (which means Old Prussian has to be a language group, not a language. Which is it to be? You created a separate article, not me. Think for once before filling Wikipedia with this drivel. David Parker
