I think we should add a lithuanian name in addition to belarussian, russian and polish, because Smarhon (Smurgainys) was a teritory of GDL from the times of Mindaugas . See : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Lithuanian_state_in_13-15th_centuries.png . Again it belonged to Lihuania after 1920 Moscow peace treaty : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Zem_1.jpg . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karolis-lt (talk • contribs) 08:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Mindouh died in 1263, Smarhoń was mentioned in 1503 for the first time. Official language of GDL was Ruthenian, not modern Lithuanian. There was a war between Russia and Poland in 1919-1920 in the area, so 1920 Lit-Rus teaty actually didn't give any power to Lithuanians. Unomano 17:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
