@iSaulius Memel was indeed stolen, as you already wrote. The city of Memel was of a total German majority. Only a few Lithuanian immigrants and some separatist activists were present. But all inhabitants of the Memelland (up to 98 %) were pro-Germany. Many spoke a Lithuanian dialect. Some an old mix of Lithuanian and Baltic Prussian languages, some with German added words. But they were all Lutherans and therefore German and Prussian royalist nationalists. That is the fact about Memel Region.

@IustitiaPax no it isnt

[iSaulius]

Actually, Prussian language is older than Lithuanian. The names in former Prussia (now all the towns and cities are renamed) seem to be Lithuanian because Prussian is similar to Lithuanian, belongs to same Language branch (Baltic). It is believed that last native Prussian speakers died in the very begining of 18th century.

The revolt in this video was staged and performed by Lithuanian troops. As Klaipėda see port was very important for economy of Lithuania and it was a very good time to get it

@JannesVH

That's right. Virtually all of our East Prussian ancestors of whatever tongue (German, Masurian, Prussian Lithuanian etc.) opposed any kind of separation from Prussia and Germany. As a reaction to the annexation of their homeland by Lithuania, more and more Lithuanian-speaking Prussians started using the German language more and more frequently underlining their identity and expressing their protest.

again. where do u see nonsence? prussian like and latvian, ukrainian or belarus languages are new languages developed after annexion of those lands by germans, poles or russians...all names and locations in Prussia is 100% Lithuanian words...even old prussian words are the mixture of polish, german and Lithuanian words exactly the same is with Latvian language

[JannesVH]

Linguistic nonsense
