Wikipedia: History of Old Prussian language/Talk

Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Changed: 1c1,2

Ok WHAT does this have to do with helping anybody explain about Old Prussian? It's great information that conveys no sense whatsoever. The main point of this article seems to be, once again, that all of the places that have names that might have been in Old Prussian (note, NOT A GERMANIC LANGUAGE AND IN NO WAY BELONGING TO THE GERMANS WHO CALLED THEMSELVES PRUSSIANS) have been changed by the now-ruling powers. Not a word in here about roots, connections to Baltic languages...typical. The Helga Hobbyhorse rides again! JHK

Ok -- First, this information is probably copyrighted and should therefore be removed. Second, it does nothing to inform the reader about Old Prussian -- a language more related to Baltic languages than to Germanic ones, and therefore making one wonder how this language was at all related to Germanic Prussia.

:Proto-Indo European is a reconstruction of a language for which we have no written evidence. Don't rely on it too much to prove anything. --MichaelTinkler
