Do you need a title in "Lithuanian", if the documents itself do not contain a single word in Lithuanian language? --rydel 00:49, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Why not use "Litva" instead of Lithuania, which only confuses the issue, implying that contemporary Lithuania is somehow equivalent to historical Lithuania. Objectively speaking, it is not; this is a case where the name is greater than the people--Ysakavik ````
The language is very important. The official language of The Grand Duchy of Lithuania was Old Belarusian. And of course, all the statutes were written in Old Belarusian (look at the statutes covers). For this reason we have to mention Belarusian variant of the word combination "Statutes of The Grand Duchy of Lithuania". 18:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)Litvin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.164.30.78 (talk)
Who actually wrote these statutes ? Lysy 08:22, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
'The Lithuanian Statutes, especially the Third Statute, were so well-written that they answered society's needs for 250 years. ' Seems rather strange to me. Weren't they written by and for Lithuanian magnates and therefore more opressive then the Union of Lublin legislation? Even if not, I doubt that the above society includes the peasants or townsfolk. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 19:07, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm not quite expert on the matter, you might read Juliusz Bardach works on the subject, he is one of th most renowned Polish specialists in the field.--Lokyz 16:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

500 families from the city of Aquileia left when they were attacked by Atilla and landed up the Neman River on Baltic sea then some of them crossed the Vilija River to the sunrise where they played trumpets (Tubo) local Balts and Rus called Lithuania.

How did it become Chancery Ruthenian? The page for it has no mentions of statutes, and it's the Old Russian, not Old Belarusian. See for example [1] that doesn't mention "Chancery", or see here: Its sociolinguistic status was very
peculiar and has to be adequately understood in the conteXt of its time: on the one hand, Prosta Mova stands in opposition to a "high", Church Slavonic variant, on the other hand, it was clearly distinguished from the "uncultivated, low" vernacular of the East Slavic peasants. The famous Lithuanian Statutes from 1529, 1566 and 1588 were written in this language; they announced that official documents had to be formulated in it

In his absence, Gostautas piloted through the codification of the law which was the price for Sigismund August’s election. Discussions over its final form extended the sejm until February, when what is known as the First Lithuanian Statute was agreed. It came into force on St Martin’s Day (29 November 1529). Written in the chancery Ruthenian that had been the grand duchy’s language of government since the fourteenth century, it soon appeared in Latin (1530) and Polish (1532) translations.
At least since Vytautas' time (see above) but probably much earlier, documents were written in an East Slavic variety which soon was to become a kind of lingua franca of the GDL. This variety has been variably called either 'Old BeIarusian' or 'rus'ka mova' (cf. Cekmonas 2001a: 81), 'Prosta Mova' (cf. Moser 1998) or (West Russian Chancellory Language' (cf. Stang 1935).12 Though its structural basis was clearly East Slavic, with time it was more and more influenced by Polish. The name 'Prosta Mova' refers instead to its status during the 16th-17th centuriesand
