ბალტიისპირეთი
Georgian
Etymology
Calque of Russian Приба́лтика (Pribáltika).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /baltʼiispʼiretʰi/, [b̥altʼiispʼiɾetʰi]

Usage notes
It is somewhat discouraged and dated term, because of its negative connotations due to the etymology, which hints at the Soviet era occupation of these countries. This is especially true in the Baltic countries themselves, who would rather not be described by this term.
