What are the Baltic languages?

The Baltic languages form a branch of the Indo-European language family and are spoken along the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea. This group includes modern Latvian and Lithuanian, as well as the extinct Old Prussian, Yotvingian, Curonian, Selonian, and Semigallian languages. The Baltic languages are closely related to the Slavic and Germanic language families.
