Lithuanians â approximately 3million of them â speak a language from the Balt group pf languages. Latvian is its only remaining neighbour language. Lithuanian has done well in preserving its ancient system of sounds, and a great many morphological distinctions; it has inherited a deep lexical stratum from its parent language.
A comparison of Sanskrit (ancient Indian) and Lithuanian sentences:
  Dievas davÄ dantis, Dievas duos duonos. (Lith.)
  Devas adat datas, Devas dasyati Dhanas. (Skt.)
  (God gave teeth, God will give bread.)
