Lithuanian (lit. Lietùvių kalbà) is the language of Lithuanians, the official language of Lithuania and one of official languages European Union. Lithuanian is spoken by about 2 million people in Lithuania and about 170 thousand outside of it. It belongs to the Baltic group of the Indo-European family of languages, by origin it is close to the modern Latvian language, the Latgalian dialect (although mutual understanding between the speakers of Lithuanian and these two languages is currently impossible) and the dead Old Prussian and Yatvingian languages.
Geographic distribution
The earliest written monument of the Lithuanian language dates back to 1503 and is a prayer ("Ave Maria" and "Nicene Creed"), handwritten on the last page of the book "Tractatus sacerdotalis" published in Strasbourg. The text follows the Dzukian dialect and appears to have been copied from an earlier original. There is no doubt that Lithuanian church texts existed even earlier, perhaps even at the end of the 14th century, because Christianity introduced in Aukštaitija certainly required such texts for religious practice (in historical sources it is mentioned that the first church texts were translated into Lithuanian by himself Jagiello).

Typography begins with the catechism of Martynas Mažvydas, written in the Samogitian dialect and published in Königsberg (now Kaliningrad). The book contains the first Lithuanian textbook - "Easy and quick science of reading and writing", in which the author gives the alphabet and several grammatical terms invented by him on 4 pages. The literacy rate of Lithuanians during the 18th century remained low, so books were not available to the public, and yet, with the release of the first book, the development of the literary Lithuanian language begins.
The literary Lithuanian language has gone through the following stages of development:
- I. Pre-national period (XVI-XVIII centuries):
- Lithuanian literary language of the 16th-17th centuries;
- Lithuanian literary language of the 18th century.
- II. National period:
- Lithuanian literary language from the first half of the 19th century to 1883;
- Lithuanian literary language from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century (1883-1919);
- Lithuanian literary language of the times of the Republic of Lithuania (1919-1940);
- Lithuanian literary language since the times of the LSSR as part of the USSR (since 1940).
In each period, the Lithuanian literary language had its own stylistic, written, lexical, morphological, phonetic, and other features.
Alphabet
Since the 16th century, a slightly modified Latin alphabet has been used to write the Lithuanian language. Started in the second half of the 1860s, the planting of the Cyrillic alphabet (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, k, l, m, n, o, ô, p, r, s, t, y, c, h, w, u, b , ѣ, u, i, io, iô, th, ў) caused resistance; and in 1904 the Cyrillic alphabet was rejected. B - the spelling reform carried out included changes in the alphabet. There are 32 letters in the modern Lithuanian alphabet:
A a | Ą ą | Bb | c c | Č č | D d | e e | Ę ę |
Ė ė | F f | G g | H h | I i | Į į | Y y | Jj |
K k | l l | M m | N n | O o | Pp | R r | S s |
Š š | T t | U u | Ų ų | Ū ū | Vv | Zz | Ž ž |
To record some sounds, consonants and vowels, combinations are used, for example, ch - X. There are also sounds uo - wow And ie - ye.
Dialects
The Lithuanian language is divided into two main dialects: Aukštaitian and Samogitian (these names, respectively, aukštaičių ir žemaičių tarmės, come from the Lithuanian words "high" and "low" and denote the settlement of their carriers relative to the course of the Neman River). These dialects themselves, in turn, are divided into dialects, etc. At present, three main dialects are distinguished in the Aukstaitian dialect: Eastern, Western and -Western or Telšiai (douninininkai), and Southern or Raseinish (dūnininkai) (the words in brackets are the way the speakers of these adverbs pronounce the word duona, "bread"). See the adverb distribution map, eng.
The modern literary Lithuanian language is based on the dialect of the Western Aukshtaites (Suvalkians).
Phonetics
Vowels
Lithuanian has 12 vowels. In addition to the standard Latin letters, diacritics are used to indicate long vowels (nosinė - a hook under the letters ą, ę, į, ų) left over from the time when these letters were pronounced nasally, like some vowels in modern Polish.
uppercase | A | Ą | E | Ę | Ė | I | Į | Y | O | U | Ų | Ū |
Lowercase | a | ą | e | ę | ė | i | į | y | o | u | ų | ū |
IFA | a | aː | ɛ | ɛː | eː | i | iː | iː | o | u | uː | uː |
Consonants
Lithuanian has 20 consonants of Latin origin, as well as the digraph "Ch" representing the velar fricative (IPA [x]); the pronunciation of the other digraphs follows from their components.
uppercase | B | C | Č | D | F | G | H | J | K | L | M | N | P | R | S | Š | T | V | Z | Ž |

Accent system
The Lithuanian language has most fully preserved the system of the ancient Indo-European musical stress, therefore, specific signs (˜, ́) are used for it.
Long Lithuanian vowels, elements of ascending diphthongs, as well as r, l, m, n in diphthongoid combinations can be pronounced with a rising tone (marked with a tilde):
Ãã Ą̃ą̃ Ẽẽ Ę̃ę̃ Ė̃ė̃ Ĩĩ Į̃į̃ Ỹỹ Õõ Ũũ Ų̃ų̃ Ū̃ū̃ R̃r̃ L̃l̃ M̃m̃ Ññ
all long vowels, as well as elements of descending diphthongs, can also be pronounced with a descending tone (marked with acute stress):
Áá Ą́ą́ Éé Ę́ę́ Ė́ė́ Íí Į́į́ Ýý Óó Úú Ų́ų́ Ū́ū́
stress on short vowels - expiratory, marked by grave stress:
Àà (Èи) Ìì (Òò) Ùù, and the short stressed è is relatively rare, and the short o is atypical for the proper Lithuanian vocabulary.
Accentology
One of the features of the Lithuanian language is accentuation. Few languages have this type of stress (for example, Spanish). If in other languages (for example, in English) the stress is individual and you just need to learn it for each word, or it is fixed on a certain syllable (for example, in Hungarian and Czech - on the first, in Polish - on the penultimate, and in French and Turkish - on the last), then in Lithuanian there are rules indicating which syllable is stressed and the intonation of this syllable. In addition to the fact that the stress in the Lithuanian language is tonic, it has three syllabic intonations - one short and two long (descending and drawling); so, in the words laukti and laukas, the stressed diphthong au pronounced with different intonation. Almost the same stress system is present in Prussian and Sanskrit.
Grammar
Lithuanian is a language with a developed system of inflections, and thus similar to Latin, especially in its fixation of case endings and the use of adjectives or other nouns placed in front of it to describe nouns (which are put in genitive case).
Two examples:
- naujas vyrų ir moterų drabužių salonas= new men's and women's clothing, but verbatim: new men and women's clothing salon
- nationalinis dramos teatras= National Drama Theatre, but literally: National Drama Theatre.
- Nouns with endings -as, -ias, -ys or -jas, belong to the first declension. With endings -a, -ia or -ė to the second slope. With endings -us or -ius- to the 4th declension. With the end -uo, as well as a few -ė - to the fifth declension. The main difficulty here is presented by nouns in -is, since they can refer to the 1st or 3rd declension.

Verbs and personal pronouns
To conjugate Lithuanian verbs, you need to know what type of conjugation the given verb belongs to. You can determine this by the endings of the 3rd person (single or plural - it doesn’t matter, they coincide in the lit. language). Based on these endings, three conjugations are distinguished in the present tense and two in the past. Present tense: 1 conjugation: -a or -ia, 2 conjugation: -i, 3 conjugation: -o; past tense (single): 1 conjugation -o, 2 conjugation -ė . For reflexive verbs at the end is added -si. Indefinite verbs end in -ti, reflexive verbs in -tis. If the verb has a prefix or a negative particle ne-(which is always written together), then the return particle -si (-s) is carried forward and placed between the prefix and the stem of the verb.

Adjectives and adverbs
adjectives
Adjectives in Lithuanian are placed before nouns and agree with them in gender, number and case. Masculine adjectives have endings -as, -ias, -us or -is; feminine adjectives - -a, -ia, -i, -ė . For comparative and superlatives a suffix is inserted between the stem and the ending respectively. -esn- or -(i)aus-.

pronominal forms
One of the characteristic features of the Lithuanian language is the presence of the so-called. pronominal forms, which are most often used with adjectives (but pronouns can also have them). There are no pronominal forms in most Western European languages (formally preserved in Russian as "full adjectives", here they have lost their original meaning). Pronominal forms are used to distinguish an object with its properties from a set of similar ones. The formation of pronominal forms occurs by adding a pronominal postfix to adjectives, and goes back to the combination of the full form of the adjective with the pronoun jis And ji("he and she"). A postfix can consist of several syllables (eg. -iesiems, -uosiuose, -osiomis).
Adverbs
Adverbs can be formed from adjectives. For this, the endings of masculine adjectives are changed as follows:
- from -as - -ai
- from -us - -iai
To form a comparative degree of an adverb, the ending is added to the base -iau, for an excellent education - -iausiai.
Degrees
Adjectives and adverbs in Lithuanian, as in most languages, change in degrees. Degrees from three to five: three main (positive, comparative, superlative) and two intermediate.
Numerals
Number agreement
- 1 = Im.p. unit
- 2-9 = Im.p. plural
- 10 and more, as well as an indefinite amount = Rod.p. plural
- 21 (i.e. twenty and 1!) Im.p. unit etc.
Examples: 1 slut= 1 man, 2= 2 men, Chapter 10= 10 men, keletas vyrų= several men. Also worth noting: when ordering beer: "Vienna alaus", Where vienna= "one/one" (accusative), "alaus"= “beer” (i.e. genitive), the word “glass” / “mug” is implied between these words (i.e.: “one mug of beer”). Similarly "du alaus"= "two beers", etc.

Vocabulary
The basic vocabulary of the Lithuanian language contains a small number of borrowings. There are old borrowings ( senieji skoliniai) from the languages of neighboring regions. Among them: stiklas from
Geographically located in the Baltics in northern Europe, the Republic of Lithuania has a single language as its official language. In Lithuania, he proclaimed Lithuanian, belonging to the Baltic group Indo-European languages. It also "comprises" the modern Latvian and the now dead Old Prussian and Yatvingian languages.
Some statistics and facts
- The state language of Lithuania is divided into the Aukštaitian and Samogitian dialects.
- Total number There are about 3 million people speaking Lithuanian in the world.
- Borrowings are also present in the original vocabulary of the language. Their main part is Germanisms and Slavic words.
- The modified Latin alphabet used for writing in Lithuanian has 32 letters.
- Outside the country, most of the state language of Lithuania is spoken in the United States - about 42 thousand inhabitants.
Lithuanian: history and modernity
Proto-Baltic is the forefather of the modern Lithuanian language. It was he who also served as the basis for the current Latvian. Both Baltic languages began to separate around the 1st century new era, and three centuries later, two branches were finally formed. In the 13th century, two Lithuanian dialects appeared - the Aukštaitian and Samogitian dialects. Those who spoke the first of them lived upstream of the Neman River, and the second lived downstream.
Each dialect has three groups of dialects, and modern literary Lithuanian is based on the Western Aukstait dialect.
The old period of Lithuanian history lasted from the 16th to the 18th centuries, and at that time its literary variant began to take shape. The gap between it and folk dialects intensified throughout the period, and in the first half of the 19th century began new stage in Lithuanian history. Literary Lithuanian began to penetrate into most spheres public life and extended to all areas of communication.
Prayers are considered to be the earliest written monument of the Lithuanian language. They are written by hand on a treatise published in Strasbourg in Latin. The inscription dates from 1503. Printing in Lithuanian began forty years later, and the catechism became the first book.
Note to the tourist
Average and older generation Lithuanians speak excellent Russian, and young people speak English, which will help Russian tourists avoid language barrier in Lithuania. It is preferable to communicate in English, because due to some historical reasons Lithuanians are in no hurry to admit their knowledge of the Russian language.
"Lithuanian language".
"Aukstaitian Lithuanian was used until the uprising of 1863, then very soon - within a few years - it was completely forgotten."
What does this term mean? What kind of language is this: Lithuanian or still Aukštaitian? The very doubling of the term "Aukštaitian Lithuanian" is the same gibberish as, for example, "Russian Tatar" or "Latvian Estonian".
The absurdity is obvious - after all, one language does not need a double name.
The double name means that the Aukshtaites had their own language and that they began to “rank” it with the Lithuanian language only in the period between the uprisings of 1830-31 and 1863-64, when tsarism actively turned our ethnos Litvins into the ethnos of “Belarusians”.
Little of, we are talking not about the historical language of the Aukstaites, but only about the literary language. For example, in the work of Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Lithuanian SSR K. Korsakas and senior researcher of the Institute of the Lithuanian Language and Literature of the Academy of Sciences of the Lithuanian SSR A. Sabaliauskas "Baltic Languages", published in the journal "Russian speech" in 1971 (No. 4), it is said: "Lithuanian the literary language was formed on the basis of the dialects of the Western Aukshtaits. That is: literary, which arose after the ethnic experiments of tsarism, and not Lithuanian.
Incidentally, Pope Pius II (1405-1464) wrote in his History of the Czech Republic:
“Lituania et ipsa late patents regio Polonis ad orientem connexa est… Rara inter Lituanos opida, neque frequentes villae… Sermo gentis Sclavonicus est, latissima est enim haec lingua et in varias divisa sectas. Ex Sclavis enim alii Romanam ecclesiam sequuntur, ut Dalmatae, Croatini, Carni ac Poloni. Alii Graecorum sequuntur errores, ut Bulgari, Rutheni et multi ex Lituanis."
Translated, this means:
“Lithuania, with its expanses, borders on Poland from the east ... The Litvins have few cities, as well as few villages ... The language of the people is Slavic. This language is the most widely spoken and is divided into different dialects. Among the Slavs, some are subject to the Roman Church, like the Dalmatians, Croats, Carnians and Poles. Others adhere to the mistakes of the Greeks, like the Bulgarians, Rusyns and many of the Litvins.

Language history
By the time of the appearance of the first written memories, the Lithuanian language would have been in two states - su-dar-st-wah - East Prussia and Ve- Li-com of the prince-same-st-ve Li-tov-skom (ON). The first Lithuanian book is Lu-te-ran-sky ka-te-khi-zis Mar-ti-na-sa Mazh-vi-da-sa (“Catechismvsa prasty sza-dei”, from Dan in Kö-nigs-berg in 1547), further development of the Lithuanian printed word in East Prussia in la-chi-lo in labor B. Vi-len-ta-sa, J. Bret-ku-na-sa, S. Vaish-no-ra-sa, Y. Re-zy, D. Klein-na (av-to-ra first gram-matik of 1653 and 1654, which played a big role in the establishment of the language norm). The first book, from-given on the territory of the GDL, is a kind of personal ka-te-hi-sis M. Da-uk-shi (went to Vil-no in 1595). Ka-te-hi-zis and Po-steel-la (a collection of pro-po-ve-dey) of the same av-to-ra (from da-na to Ville-no in 1599) - the first ak-tsen-tui-ro-van-nye (from the point of view of the place of ud-re-niya) pa-myat-ni-ki of the Lithuanian language. On the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, there were two variants of the Lithuanian language: central and eastern (the language of pa-myat-nik-kov, creating-yes-vav-shih-sya in East Prussia, consider-ta-et-xia to be a western variant). In the central variant of the literary Lithuanian language (with a center in Ke-dai-nyai), except for Da-uk-shi, pi-sa-li M.

Due to the lo-ni-za-tion of Vil-no, the eastern variant of the literary Lithuanian language, by the beginning of the 18th century, had ceased its su-sche-st-in-va-nie, in the 18th century -step-pen-no de-gra-di-ro-val and its central variant, and only in East Prussia did the development of the Lithuanian language, despite the German -for-tion, not pre-beautiful-elk (here, in 1765-1775, the creation of a poem by K. published by L. Rezoy in 1818). In East Prussia, the first scientific gram-ma-ti-ka of the Lithuanian language was published by A. Schlei-he-ra (1856), Lithuanian-German dictionary G. Nes-sel-ma-na (1851), gram-ma-ti-ka (1876) and words-va-ri (1870-1874, 1883) F. Kur-shay-ti-sa; the first Lithuanian newspapers “Auszra” (“Dawn”, 1883-1886) and “Varpas” (“Bell”, 1889-1905) appeared. In Lithuania, after the 3rd time-de-la Re-chi Po-po-li-toy (1795) and entering the Russian Empire in-lo- ni-for-tion changed ru-si-fi-ka-qi-ey. For the promotion of the pa-gan-dy of the Lithuanian language in the 1st half of the 19th century, many authors from Zhe-mai-tia made a lot - S. Dau-kan-tas, M.
