Aukštaitija (, ''Highlands'') is the name of one of five ethnographic regions of Lithuania. The name comes from the relatively high elevation of the region, particularly the eastern parts. ==Geography== Aukštaitija is in the northeast part of Lithuania and also encompasses a small part of Latvia and Belarus. The largest city and, though not in any strict political sense, the considered capital of the region is Panevėžys, which has over 100,000 inhabitants. The largest cities (by population; those over 20,000 inhabitants) are: *Panevėžys – 119,749 (considered to be capital) *Jonava – 34,954 *Utena – 33,860 *Kėdainiai – 32,048 *Visaginas – 29,554 (note – this city was built by the Soviets and is mainly inhabited by Russians and other Soviet nationalities, therefore it is part of this ethnographic region only geographically) *Ukmergė – 28,759 *Radviliškis – 20,339 The region is full of lakes, mainly in the eastern side. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aukštaitija」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
