Bizarre sentence

Call me slow ~ go ahead, it's been done many times before ~ but i cannot for the life of me work out exactly what is meant by this sentence: At the beginning of Baltic history, the Old Prussians were bordered by the Vistula and the Memel – earlier Mimmel – river, which outside of Prussia is called Neman Rivers with a southern depth to about Thorn at the Vistula river, which was Prussian, and the line of the River Narew. I have gone back in the history to try and work out who added, what might have been meant, but it seems to have been there for ages. It might mean something like At the beginning of Baltic history, Old Prussians were bordered by the Vistula and Neman rivers (the Neman is also called the Memel, in German), as far south as Thorn, on the Vistula, but as i have no idea i'm not changing the article. If there is someone who knows, however, this portion of the article must be changed ~ if for no other reason than that it needs to be in good English: "southern depth" doesn't mean anything, and the phrase about the "line of the River Narew" is questionable.

It appears to be written in a dialect known as "English Misplaced Pages". Get used to it if you come here often...73.220.34.167 (talk) 21:35, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Why is Prakrit included?

Why is the Indian language, Prakrit, included among the languages in which the name for the Old Prussian appears? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RNajdek (talkcontribs) 15:53, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Who cares what Prussians were called in Prakrit, it's irrelevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.183.6.63 (talk) 08:03, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
