The Baltic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family primarily spoken in the Baltic region of Europe. This group includes two main languages: Lithuanian and Latvian. Both languages have preserved many archaic features that are not found in other Indo-European languages, making them of particular interest to linguists. These languages are primarily spoken in Lithuania and Latvia, where they serve as the official languages. The Baltic languages share some similarities, but they also have distinct phonetic, grammatical, and vocabulary differences. Their unique characteristics reflect the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Baltic peoples.
