Vaina’s Lexicon is a dictionary of the Lithuanian minority dialect in Poland. The dictionary includes lexical material gathered and written down on flashcards by Juozas Vaina (J\u00f3zef Vaina) between the 1960s and the 1990s.<\/p>\n

The flashcards (of which there were around 6000) were given to Jowita Niewulis-Grablunas by Juozas Vaina’s daughter – Maryt\u0117 Vainait\u0117-Misiukonien\u0117 (Maria Misiukanis), to whom the Lexicon’s editors are extremely grateful.<\/p>\n

Juozas Vaina was born in 1916 in the village of Widugiery, died in 2011 in Pu\u0144sk. He was a teacher, an ethnographer, a folklorist and the founder of the Punskas Ethnographic Museum. As of right now, said museum is named after him.<\/p>\n
