		Several of the extinct Baltic languages have a limited or nonexistent written record, their existence being known only from the records of ancient historians and personal or place names; all of the languages in the Baltic group (including the living ones) were first written down relatively late in their probable existence as distinct languages.

		The Baltic Sea is artificially linked to the White Sea by the White Sea Canal and to the North Sea by the Kiel Canal.
		The Baltic Sea's salinity is much lower than that of ocean water (which averages 3.5%, or 35 parts per thousand), as a result of abundant freshwater runoff from the surrounding land; indeed, runoff contributes roughly 1/40th its total volume.(Alhonen 88) It varies from 0.1% in the north to 0.6-0.8% in the center.
		The northern part of the Baltic Sea is known as the Gulf of Bothnia, of which the northernmost part is the Bay of Bothnia or Bothnian Bay.

	Evaluation of programmes in Baltic Languages at Stockholm University and Celtic Languages at Uppsala University (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The possibilities of studying abroad should be improved for students of Baltic Languages in particular, for example by including one term of language study at one of the Baltic universities in their programmes and enabling these credits to be transferred.
		The assessors recommend that courses in Baltic Languages should be given content of the kind that corresponds to the interests of postgraduate students and their thesis subjects, and also that the proportion of taught courses should be reduced from 80 credit points to 60 or 40.
		For Baltic Languages the possibility of greater individualisation of postgraduate programmes could be increased by the introduction of assistant supervisors and the development of routines for supervision of this kind.

	Indo-European languages Summary
		Genetically related languages are demonstrably derived from a common ancestor, a "Proto-Language," which, in the case of Indo-European, is thought to have flourished during the fourth–third millennia BCE, before it split up into the daughter languages from which scholars are able to infer its existence.
		Old Indian is represented by Vedic, the language of the sacred literature of Brahmanic religion, and Sanskrit, the highly normed and thus to a degree artificial language of classical Indian literature.
		Baltic languages, attested from the 14th century, and, for languages attested that late, they retain unusually many archaic features attributed to Proto-Indo-European.

	Bambooweb: Baltic languages
		With the ongoing Christianization and Germanization of Prussia, the Old Prussian language became extinct at the end of the 17th century.
		The Baltic languages have for a long time been oral languages, the Balts did not use writing until fairly recently.
		However, writing in those languages was not widespread until the middle of the 19th century, partly due to the fact that Latvia and Lithuania were not independent at that time and the countries which ruled them attempted to impose their languages as the languages for writing.)

	excerpt from Janis Endzelins' Comparative Phonology and Morphology of the Baltic Languages
		Comparing the East Baltic languages with each other, one can say that the Lithuanian language is more conservative than Latvian; the greater part of the sounds and forms of Latvian have developed from sounds and forms similar to those even now used in Lithuanian.
		The majority of features which now separate the Slavic languages from the Baltic could for the greater part have developed after the period when the Balts and Slavs lived together; in addition it is necessary to keep in mind that Baltic language texts begin only in the 16th century.
		In all of the Baltic languages one finds the influence of the Slavic and Germanic languages, but in Latvian the influence of Livonian and Estonian is noted also.

	The Baltic States
		Despite this, the Baltic peoples were able to retain their distinct identities, thanks to the vigorous activities of nationalist intellectuals and writers, and their support by the broader Baltic populations.
		Lithuania's annexation to the German Reich in 1943 marked the beginning of what was to be the conversion of the Baltic States into German colonies of settlement and the enslavement or extermination of the indigenous populations.
		A potentially disastrous increase in ethnic tensions between the Balts and the Russian refugees was halted by the 1985 admission of the Federated Russian Republics to the European Confederation and the emigration of Russian refugees, either to their homeland or to destinations in western Europe.

	Finno-Ugric languages at AllExperts
		A portion of the Baltic-Finnic lexicon is not shared with the remaining Finno-Ugric languages and may be due to a pre-Finnic substrate, which may coincide in part with the substrate of the Indo-European Baltic languages.
		As far as the Sami (Lappic) languages are concerned, a hypothesis has been advanced that the ancestors of the Sami originally spoke a different language, but adopted their current tongue under the pressure of their Finnic-speaking neighbours.
		Notably, Kalevi Wiik has argued that Proto-Finno-Ugric was the original language in most of Northern and Central Europe, and that the earliest Finno-Ugric speakers and their languages originated in the territory of modern Ukraine (the so-called "Ukrainian refuge") during the last glacial period, when the whole of northern Europe was covered with ice.
