The
Baltic languages form one branch of the
Indo-European language family. In this group there are two extant
languages: Latvian
? and Lithuanian
?, and many extinct languages, including Old Prussian. The last was spoken in
Prussia, the area of today's
Kaliningrad, but with the ongoing germanisation of Prussians, it became extinct. Sometimes linguists connect this group with the group of
Slavic languages. Lithuanian is thought to be one of the oldest and least changed Indo-European languages.
