East Baltic

Eurasian Language Families

The East Baltic languages are a group of languages that, along with the extinct West Baltic languages, belong to the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family. The East Baltic branch primarily consists of two extant languages, Latvian and Lithuanian. Occasionally, Latgalian and Samogitian are viewed as distinct languages, though they are traditionally regarded as dialects. It also includes the now-extinct Selonian, Semigallian, and possibly Old Curonian.
