About the Lithuanian language

Lithuanian, like Latvian, belongs to the Baltic language group of the Indo-European language family. It is one of the oldest languages ​​in the world. In the 3rd century BC, the Baltic coast was inhabited by ancient Baltic tribes, who started the Latvian and Lithuanian languages' beginnings. It is not for nothing that these two languages ​​are considered very similar, as historically they developed together until the 13th century. There are two dialects in Lithuanian - Samogitian and Upper Saxon. Accented and unstressed consonants distinguish them.

The Lithuanian alphabet consists of 32 Latin letters. The longest word in Lithuanian consists of 37 letters, but Lithuanians do not use it in everyday life. There can be more than 147 forms of a single adjective, so it is not for nothing that anthropologists believe that learning and using the Lithuanian language trains and promotes the brain.

From ancient times, Lithuanians have created people's names related to nature, and the most popular ones have remained to this day. For example, the woman's name Rūta denotes and symbolizes a flower, but Eglė - spruce.

Lithuanians care about their language, so various events are organized to protect it from English and Russian influence to keep the Lithuanian language as authentic as possible. Lithuanians are proud that their language is one of the oldest and resembles ancient Latin, Greek and Sanskrit or ancient Indo-European.
