Lithuanian language

Lithuanian is considered one of the most archaic of the living Indo-European languages. It is one of two (another is Latvian) living Baltic family of languages, which is closest to Slavic and Germanic families. It is the official language of Lithuania, spoken by about 3.5 million native Lithuanians.
Like most of the Indo-European languages, Lithuanian employs modified Roman script (including 33 letters). There are two grammatical genders in Lithuanian. It has the free stress. Each noun is declined in seven cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, locative, and vocative.
