History
It is not known whether the root of the name Vistula is Indo-European or pre-Indo-European. The diminutive endings -ila, -ula, were used in many Indo-European language groups, among them Germanic (see Atilla, a "little father" in Gothic) but also in Latin (see Ursula, a "little female bear") which makes it difficult to establish its origin in the Vistula name. A diminutive is a formation of a Word used to convey a slight degree of the root meaning smallness of the object or quality named encapsulation intimacy or endearment The Goths ( Gothic: Gothic usvg|14px|u]]Gothic asvg|14px|a]]Gothic s This article is about the saint For schools by the same name see St The name was first recorded by Pliny in AD 77 in his Natural History. Gaius or Caius Plinius Secundus, ( AD 23 – August 25, AD 79 better known as Pliny the Elder, was an ancient Author Naturalis Historia ( Latin for "Natural History" is an Encyclopedia written Circa AD 77 by Pliny the Elder. He uses Vistula (4. 52, 4. 89) with an alternative spelling, Vistillus (3. 06). The Vistula River ran into the Mare Suebicum, which we know as the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is a Brackish inland sea located in Northern Europe, from 53°N to 66°N Latitude and from 20°E to 26°E Longitude. The Baltic Sea is a Brackish inland sea located in Northern Europe, from 53°N to 66°N Latitude and from 20°E to 26°E Longitude. From all the sources one can deduce that west of the delta lived the tribes of the Suebi and Burgundians, and around the delta itself the Eastern Germanic tribe of Goths (see also Gothiscandza, Wielbark culture) and their predecessors, the Oksywie culture. The Suebi or Suevi (from Proto-Germanic * swēbaz based on the Proto-Germanic root * swē- meaning "one's own" The Burgundians or Burgundes were an East Germanic tribe which may have emigrated from mainland Scandinavia to the island of Bornholm, whose The Goths ( Gothic: Gothic usvg|14px|u]]Gothic asvg|14px|a]]Gothic s According to a tale related by Jordanes, Gothiscandza was the first settlement of the Goths after their migration from Scandinavia ( Scandza) Wielbark culture also known as Willenberg culture (Wielbark/Willenberg-Kultur Kultura wielbarska Вельбарська культура ( Vel’bars’ka kul’tura The Oksywie Culture, also known as Oxhöft culture, was an archaeological culture which existed in the area of modern day Eastern Pomerania around the lower Vistula East of the Vistula mouth were the areas inhabited by the Baltic speaking tribes generally identified with the historical Aestians: Galindians, Sudovians and Borusci. The Baltic languages are a group of related languages belonging to the Indo-European language family and spoken mainly in areas extending east and southeast of the Baltic The Aesti (or Aestii) were a people described by the Roman historian Tacitus in his treatise Germania (ca term Galindians may be applied to two distinct and now extinct tribes of the Balts. Yotvingians or Sudovians (also called Suduvians, Jatvians, or Jatvingians in English (Jotvingiai Sūduviai Jatvingi Jaćwingowie Яцьвягі "Prussians" redirects here "Prussians" may also refer to citizens of the former German state of Prussia.
Tacitus is one source regarding information on the early inhabitants of the Vistula. Toruń Lublin Voivodeship Toruń (Thorn Torń Thorunium see also other names) is a city in northern Poland, on the Vistula River with population However, some of his observations are questionable. For example, when describing the Venethi, Peucini and Fenni he wrote that he was not sure if he should call them Germans, since they have settlements and they fight on foot, or rather Sarmats since they have some similar customs to them[2]. The Vistula Veneti (alternatively also called the Baltic Veneti) were an ancient Indo-European people living in contemporary Poland, along the rivers of The Bastarnae were an important ancient people of uncertain but probably mixed Germanic-Celtic-Sarmatian ethnic origin who lived between the Danube and the Dnieper (Strabo Geography Fenni were a people living in Fennoscandia in the 1st century mentioned by Cornelius Tacitus in Germania in 97 A The Sarmatians, Sarmatae or Sauromatae ( Old Iranian Sarumatah 'archer' Σαρμάτες
Ptolemy also records the tribes around the Vistula River, which he regards as the border between Germany and Sarmatia. Claudius Ptolemaeus ( Greek: Klaúdios Ptolemaîos; after 83 &ndash ca The Sarmatians, Sarmatae or Sauromatae ( Old Iranian Sarumatah 'archer' Σαρμάτες He uses the Greek spelling, "Ouistoula". Other ancient sources spell it "Istula". Pomponius Mela refers to the "Visula" (Book 3) and Ammianus Marcellinus to the "Bisula" (Book 22), both of which names lack the -t-. The definitive reference is probably Jordanes (Getica 5 & 17), who uses "Viscla". The Anglo-Saxon poem Widsith refers to it as the "Wistla". Widsith is an Old English poem of 144 lines that appears to date from the 9th century drawing on earlier Oral traditions of Anglo-Saxon tale singing

Navigation
The Vistula is navigable, but large parts of its course do not meet the requirements of modern inland navigation. From the Baltic Sea to Bydgoszcz (where the Bydgoszcz Canal connects to the river), Vistula can accommodate modest river vessels of CEMT class II. The Baltic Sea is a Brackish inland sea located in Northern Europe, from 53°N to 66°N Latitude and from 20°E to 26°E Longitude. Bydgoszcz (Bromberg Bydgostia is a city in northern Poland, on the Brda and Vistula rivers with Bydgoszcz Canal - a Canal between Bydgoszcz and Nakło in Poland, connecting Vistula with Oder, through Brda Further upstream the river does not have enough depth to allow river barges to navigate.
Upstream of Warsaw, a project was undertaken to enlarge the capacity of the river by building a number of locks in Cracow area; this project was never prolonged further downstream, so that the navigability of the Vistula remains problematic. The potential of the river in the decades to come would increase considerably if a restoration of the East-West connection via the Narew - Bug - Mukhovets - Pripyat - Dnieper waterways would be considered. Narew Podlaskie Voivodeship The river Narew ( Belarusian: Нараў, Lithuanian: Naura) in western Belarus and north-eastern The Bug or Buh River (Bug; Західний Буг Zakhidnyy Buh; Захо́дні Буг Zakhodni Buh; Западный Буг Zapadnyy Bug Mukhavets ( Belarusian: Мухаве́ц ( Muchaviec) muxa'vʲets Polish: Muchawiec) is a river in western Belarus The Pripyat River (Прип’ять 'prɨpjatʲ Прыпяць Prypiać 'prɨpʲatsʲ Prypeć 'prɨpɛtsʲ Припять 'pripjatʲ is a river in Eastern Europe, of For the rocket see Dnepr rocket.
