The modern Baltic languages comprise Lithuanian and Latvian, spoken on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea. Lithuanian is the official language of Lithuania, where ethnic Lithuanians make up the majority of the population. Latvian is the official language of Latvia, but only three-fifths of the population are ethnic Latvians. A number of now-extinct Baltic languages were spoken in the surrounding regions.
