Old Prussian language



Old Prussian is an extinct Baltic language, once spoken by the inhabitants of the area that later became East Prussia (now north-eastern Poland and the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia) prior to the German colonization of the area beginning in the 13th century. In Old Prussian itself, the language was called “Prūsiskan” or “Prūsiskai Bilā” A few experimental communities involved in reviving] a reconstructed form of the language now exist in [[Lithuania, Poland, and other countries.
