The southern Prussian districts of Sudovia and Galindia were partially overtaken and conquered by Slavs around present-day Bialystok and Suwalki in north-eastern Poland and nearby Hrodna (formerly Grodno) in Belarus. Some elements of the Baltic language are still retained in the Belarus and Ukraine territory due to centuries of government by the Habsburg/Lithuanian ruling house of Jagiello.
