    No, but Estonians are more like Scandinavians and Finns. There is debate as to whether Estonians are really Balts. But Lithuanians and Latvians are definitely.

    Estonians maybe. They are Baltic just geographically anyway. They are a Finnic Lutheran people like the Finns.

    it's not the oldest language in the world, it's the language that is probably most similar (with latvian) to the original indo-european
    the least derived from the ancestral indo european tongue (as spoken by the Yamnaya)
