Lithuanian and Latvian are probably the closest languages to proto Indo-European with lithuanian being more archaic
And Non Slavic!Quote:

Modern language closest to PIE, but Slav overlords have effed the original accent somewhat.
Yes so they teamed up with Poland because they hated Russia. So? Lithuanian has a totally different vibe from Slavic nations.Quote:

No one says they are Slavs. All I am saying is that they are very close and similar to Slavs. It's technically Northeast Europe, but that is just geography. You can't seriously claim again they are more like Scandinavians, can you?Quote:
