Your view about Lithuanians and Lithuania?

[Empecinado]

I think that's mainly because of -as type of endings in some surnames.

Some of the names have combinations of sounds that do not seem foreign. However, most of them would mean nothing in Lithuanian. Non-speakers of obviously can not feel it.

I would think they come from some Romance area. I do not speak any of the Romance languages.

This can be too, I think that both statements are reasonable and compatible. Iberians lived surrounded by IE speakers who spoke a primitive form of IE derived languages, and Lithuanian is the most similar language to the original IE, though most of the similarities with some words are due coincidence (surnames ending in -as and stuff you said).

These Iberian names sound strange to us Romance speakers, few of them could pass as Latin derived. The closest language to the Iberian is the Basque, which sounds quite primitive and different from Lithuanian (obvious):

Not Baltic enough, I like Latvia more!

Lithuanians are more Baltic/Eastern-European, as the Latvians have a lot of Northern-European/Finnic admixture.

I would call that being more Baltic and less Polish.

The core essence of being Baltic is being Eastern-European, as they came from a Balto-Slavic homeland in modern day Eastern-Europe. The Latvians are borderline Balts, having a lot of Nordic admixture gotten from the native Finnics living there before them.

would you mind taking your off topic else where? I understand that you seem to be infatuated by us, but we got the message.
there's no need to spam every thread with your theories.

remind me... how many Germanic loanwords you have and how many Slavic loan words we have
then lets decide who's more Baltic.

Isn't this thread about Lithuania? I just responded to one Latvian who thought that they are more Baltic than the Lithuanians, they aren't. Where's the thanks?

you talk about balto-slavs as if that's a cultural group.
do you not realize how diverse slavs and balts are? from your point of view I'm cultural closer to Bulgaria than I am to Bavaria

Leave the poor guy alone, hes obviously an idiot because he thinks that slavic = eastern european, while it means country that used to be part of soviet sphere of influence (including Hungary, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania). As for the loan words, it only makes us richer. Lithuania is like a little baltic speaking Poland to me.
