I can’t get over how amazing Lithuanian sounds… mystifying yet familiar. No wonder David Peterson used it as inspiration for High Valyrian on Game of Thrones
Emm, I just googled it and in his 2014 Tumblr post Peterson answered to fan's question: “I actually don’t know anything about the Baltic languages, so I don’t think I could have been influenced by them.” What are you sources? Also, to me (an L2 Lithuanian speaker) High Valyrian doesn't sound like any Baltic or Slavic language at all, but something like a combination of Ecclesiastical Latin and modern Romance languages. But also it has the Arabic Q sound. And perhaps in some places it gives me Greek vibes, but not quite.
The language of the Prussians and other Western Balts extremely similar to Slavic languages, the similarities are significantly greater than between Slavic languages and the languages of the Eastern Balts (Lithuanians and Latvians)
I disagree. Phoentically Lithuanian has way more from Slavic than this Old Prussian reconstruction, and there is way more borrowings directly from Slavic than in Prussian. Other than that definitely general IE Baltic core is very simmilar.
The phonetic shape of the language feels like an elongated Latvian. Lithuanian, on the other hand, is more like European Portuguese and Serbo-Croatian having a child together.
No, they were West-Baltic. While there has been Slavic and Germanic influences in Old Prussian, it is still considered much more archaic than Latvian and Lithuanian, maintaining many features East-Baltic languages lost.
@@rafa6222 Latvian has changed in ways that neither Prussian nor Lithuanian has. For example, both Prussian and Lithuanian preserved "an" where Latvian turned it into "o" ("uo") - šandeinan / šiandien vs Latvian šodien.
Please, remove the ` ~ diacritics from the Lithuanian text, they are only used to help identify stressed vowels and their pitch accent in learning books, and are not a part of standard Lithuanian orthography. And the _ñ_ doesn't exist in Lithuanian at all. The standard Lithuanian diacritics for vowels are _ą ę ė į ų ū,_ and _č š ž_ for consonants
@@benandolga the only Baltic languages with continuous use is Lithuanian, Latvian and Latgalian. Prussian is learned anew, so it's quite possible even if it will get second life it will never get exactly the same sound.

Prussian phonetics are so cool… The prayer segment sounds like Sanskrit, veering into Portuguese
God, save and preserve the Baltic languages💓
Can you make Classical German Vs Austrian German
RIP Prussian
AFAIK there are 50+ speakers and a few children who speak it natively
Amen🙏🏻
Prūsa giwā!
Rip? It is alive ! It is not dead
@@benandolga I would say it's alive _again._ After all, it wasn't spoken for two centuries as far as I know.
Prussian man chanting a mantra
Plssssss........ Make an another separated video of proto indo European and proto indo iranian languages plssssssss.......... 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Somos words are closer to something Germanic or is it just me? Starting by number one but not only.
that is because germanic baltci and romance comes from indo-european

We want Gorani language
Miss u Prussia... 💔🪦🇩🇪🦅
Schlesien bitte
Prussian were Slavic -Baltic-German mix

Never! Prussian is not a mix! Baltic and Slavic are completely different languages!

does Long Short Vowel in Lithuanian has any vocabulary meaning. Like different meaning for KOK and KOOK?
Prussian is still spoken in annexed territory of Prussia by Poland and even in Belarus
It is not.
the only Prussian users alive are few families in Germany who rediscovered Baltic roots.
Wow, I'm not sure how good this Old Prussian is but dammit, phonetic colour of all those Slavic interaction are way way more hearable in Lithuanian.
Óblast'! Not oblÁst'
I'm Russian if anything. And I know that oblAst' is wrong
it's borrowing, may be spoken differently
Sounds like a German speaking Lithuanian.
You don't know the difference! Prussian sounds like the Baltic but not like Germanic language!
I have opposite meaning - Lithuanian here sounds for me distinctly more Slavic.
