Old Lithuanian

Quote:

---

is attested from the 16th century onwards. It is similar to the modern language, and many of its peculiarities can still be found today in modern dialects (see introduction). The language has a complex accent system (see sounds) which is actually transmitted in early writings. It has a dual, so-called postpositive local cases and, most remarkably, many athematic verbs (see words). The syntax of Old and Modern Lithuanian is remarkable for absolute constructions and the modus relativus, a verbal mood for expressing indirect speech and propositional attitudes formed with participles (see structures).
