Most of this area were slavicized ( Modern Russia, Belarusia and Poland ) Today exists only two baltic ( balts) languages - Lithuanian and Latvian.
A hydronym (from Greek: ὕδρω, hydrō, "water" and ὄνομα, onoma, "name") is a type of toponym that designates a proper name of a body of water. Hydronyms include the proper names of rivers and streams, lakes and ponds, swamps and marshes, seas and oceans.
Hydronyms from various languages may all share a common etymology. For example, the Danube, Don, Dniester, Dnieper, and Donets rivers all contain the Scythian name for "river" (cf. don, "river, water" in modern Ossetic).
This would include areas such as Eritrean southern Red Sea coast, Sudan border areas, Northern Kenya, and Hargeisa, following expansion into Oromia, Harar and Jijiga
