​@@dragonitzgame The Old Prussian state faced a lot of wars and famines which reduced the population. When the devastated country was resettled the German Order brought in available settlers mostly from Germany and Poland which led to a gradual decline in the Baltic population of the later East Prussia as the remaining Baltics were often assimilated to the new German or Slavic environment. The last remains of East Prussian Baltics, the Prussian Lithuanians, were expulsed by the Soviet Union following WW2. As they were commonly Protestants (in contrast to the Catholics in Russian Lithuania) and heavily Germanized they were considered German and resttled in remaining Germany. Because post-WW2 Germany resettled all refugees by economic capacity of the intaking regions irrespective of religion or ethnicity the Prussian Lithuanians were scattered throughout Germany and therefore assimilated to their new environments.

Lithuania is also the last European country to change from old Animist religion to Christianism (it id only in the end of XIV century). Probably geography has a big play on that: swamps and dense forests, making this region more isolated than others.

Always interesting to see how the Latvian Languages merged into one, and how The Language of Prussia originally being Old Prussian, ending up going extinct by the people they conquered, and the Prussians then using Low German instead. (It's also funny how Prussia basically united Germany during the Franco-German wars, but then ended up using High German instead of their own Low German language, it's like Prussians can only speak the languages of those they conquered instead of vice versa)

[@Maus_Indahaus]

@@deusgiff How do Samogitians and Lithuanians view each other? Do they see each other as brother nations or something else?

[@deusgiff]

@@Maus_Indahaus Well to be honest, the situation between Samogitia and Lithuania is such that usually Samogitians are just counted as just a part of Lithuania (which to some extent is), though forgeting the fact that we had our own identity, culture and language for years. At the same time, it is logical because you can find a really big geopolitical aspect here which could be used as a threat of our well known enemies. Moreover, lots of well known heroic people who helped rebuilding Lithuania were born in Samogitia as well as we (Samogitians) had helped Lithuania. We fought against and defeated foreign invaders. But that is also an issue because in Lithuanian history that is taught in schools, the very big impact of Samogitians on Lithuania is barely mentioned and silenced out. They want to count as just Lithuanians who speak differently and are a part of ethnographical regions, scared that recognizing us would cause bigger issues and conflicts, but I don't see it this way. I wish that Samogitian culture and language would be more important in Lithuania, especially in Samogitia as well as it is essential to save our language as it is dying so it must be taught in schools. I don't want to claim that Samogitia should become some kind of separatist state, no, I only wish that our culture, history would be recognized and that we would be proud of who we are.

[@fidenemini111]

Quite contrary. More you go back in time, less you find differences between dialects and languages or even language groups (which you can clearly see in this video). Samogitians split from what now is called Western Aukshtaitians and moved to their current territories of inhabitance from the area nearby Kaunas. This could happen around 3-4 century a.d. This is the opinian of lituanists and archaeologists K. Būga, A. Salys, J.S. Liaučiūtė, A. Girdenis, R., G. Zabiela, Jablonskytė-Rimantienė, A. Tautavičius, V. Šimėnas, R. Volkaitė-Kulikauskienė, L. Vaitkunskienė, V. Žulkus, A. Butrimas, and others. Intermixing with Curonians they gainned their accent and adopted part of their vocabulary and developed changes in grammar. But not all of them, those, who lived farther from the sea remained with their original dialect, which is not very or at all different from Western Aukshtaitian, for example in Kėdainiai, Radvilishkis or Jurbarkas. Even in Raseiniai Curonian influence is minor compared to Northern Samogitia. The established linguistic fact is that Samogitian dialect is the youngest and most modernized one among LIthuanian dialects. You can call it a language as much as you wish, but the reality is that a dialect can become in a long time perspective a language only when it is far away from other sister dialects and developes isolated. None of these conditions are likelly being at hand. The term Samogitia itself appeared and began to atribute to the land quite late - only in 13 century, from this time it is believed the major differences in dialect had been alredy noticable. Additional influx of Curonians, Semigalians, Selonians and some Prussians who fled their ancestral lands after being defeeted by Teutonic Order gave a later influences, even to the center of Samogitian territory, and strengthened the already existed ones. This is what sciences of linguistic, history and archaelogy know. But when emotions are in play, science and logics, as you all know, are not signifficant at all.

[@raceris7309]

@@fidenemini111 Of course Samogitia was first mentioned in XIII century, because there was almost no knowledge of Baltic tribes, plus it's the same century when Kingdom of Lithuania emerged. Samogitia has a very distinct history, no doubt, and was viewed as a separate entity during much of Grand Duchy of Lithuania's existence. It's important to note that Baltic people during XI-XII centuries did not form their own countries, hence why Samogitia seems "new". Besides, people's migration is one of the factors necessary for a new group of people to emerge. The most extreme example would be Franks, who were Barbarians.

"Latvian as a distinct language emerged over several centuries from the language spoken by the ancient Latgalians assimilating the languages of other neighbouring Baltic tribes-Curonian, Semigallian and Selonian-which resulted in these languages gradually losing their most distinct characteristics. This process of consolidation started in the 13th century after the Livonian Crusade and forced christianization, which formed a unified political, economic and religious space in Medieval Livonia"

Hmm how did Latvian language/ethnic group form? It says on Wikipedia that a Latgalian tribe assimilated the other Baltic tribes north of Lithuania and formed Latvian. Is that true? In the maps of the Baltic I see before Christianization, I see a bunch of Baltic tribes in the area like Lithuanians and the original Prussians but Latvian is nowhere to be found. Are they a more recent nation that formed when the Baltic tribes north of Lithuania merged?

[@Tomaats69]

It's a little bit confusing but modern day latvian is formed mostly from latgalian language. But modern day latgalian now is completely different thing.

[@rolandsv8]

@@Tomaats69 modern day latgalian is not "completely different thing". Old latgalian split into modern Latvian ( with influences of livonian, semigallian, selonian, german, swedish) and modern latgalian ( with influences of russian and polish) due to political separation of regions.

Смотря где, на севере и востоке центральной России топонимы обычно фино-угорские, а на западе балтские.

Samogitian is quite distinct, though and it is not mutually intelligible with Lithuanian. It also has some similarities with Latvian. I'm also pretty sure that Lithuania is the only one to not consider Samogitian a distinct language. It has to do with Lithuanian nationalism or something like that.

Absolutely false. A Proto-Baltic territory was incomparably larger: from the Jutland peninsula and west from Elbe in the West to far east from Moscow in the East, and from Pripet in the South to Estonia in the North (including present day Berlin, Warsaw and Moscow). And why do you begin the Proto-Baltic from 100 AD? The Balts emerged about 3000 BC when Indo-Europeans came here and mixed with the local WHG (Western Hunter Gatherers) Europidic people. I see here the purposeful Slavic propaganda. The Slavs are the very late formation: emerged only in 500 BC (or later)-500 AD from the mixture of southern part of Western Balts and North-Western Scythians. But you begin your Slavic language's show earlier than Baltic! So is this mistake or propaganda? I think probably the second.

[@arturasandriusaitis8832]

And I would like to add. The Slavs emerged in very small territory between the upper Dniester and Pripet. You show the huge primary territory.
