| | This indigenous population is believed to have assimilated to varying degrees with the Baltic peoples. | | | More recently, it has been suggested that the Baltic language group is itself an inappropriate grouping and that the West Baltic and East Baltic groups have differing lineages that converged later in their existences. | | | With the establishment of a German state in Prussia, and the relocation of much of the Baltic Prussian population in the 13th century, Prussians began to be assimilated, and by the end of the 17th century, the Prussian language had become extinct. |

| | Despite their frequent lack of political power, speakers of Slavic languages demonstrated resilience, sometimes culturally taking over foreign political rulers, as in Bulgaria, where Bulgar overlords became Slavicized. | | | The Slavic languages (also called Slavonic languages), a group of closely related languages of the Slavic peoples and a subgroup of Indo-European languages, have speakers in most of Eastern Europe, in much of the Balkans, in parts of Central Europe, and in the northern part of Asia. | | | In the case of Czech- and Slovak-speakers, originally kindred languages diverged when the former came under German rule, the latter under Hungarian. |

| | Balto-Slavic languages |
| | The Balto-Slavic language group is a hypothetical language group consisting of the Baltic and Slavic language subgroups of the Indo-European family. | | | Baltic and Slavic languages were not written down until 15th and 9th centuries A.D.; thus, the historical record tracing the development of the languages is limited. | | | Szemerényi in his 1957 re-examination of Meillet's results concludes that the Balts and Slavs did, in fact, share a "period of common language and life", and were probably separated due to the incursion of Germanic tribes along the Vistula and the Dnepr roughly at the beginning of the Common Era. |

| | The Circum-Baltic Languages |
| | This paper focuses on the languages spoken around the Baltic sea, arguing that the study of the Circum-Baltic languages from an areal-typological point of view reveals a linguistic landscape with many interesting properties of its own. | | | Intensive micro-contacts superimposed on each other sometimes create an impression of an overall macro-contact among the languages in an area, which has not necessarily been there. | | | Therefore, the notion of a Sprachbund is not satisfactory for describing the linguistic situation in the CB area, which may rather be characterised as "a coastal superposition zone in the European periphery". |

| | Baltic Languages |
| | The Baltic tongues are so named because they are spoken in an area around the Baltic Sea. | | | The Baltic languages have for a long time been oral languages. | | | However, writing in these languages was not widespread until the middle of the 19th century, partly due to the fact that Latvia was not independent until 1918, and Lithuania until 1785 was part of the Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth with Polish as the commonly used official language. |

| | The Circum-Baltic languages: |
| | The goal of this concluding paper is to show that the Circum-Baltic languages as a whole form an interesting linguistic landscape of their own among the languages of the world, in general, and the European languages, in particular. | | | As the Circum-Baltic languages are spoken on the periphery of Europe, they differ in a number of aspects from Standard Average European languages (the term explained in Section 3.2.), such as German or French. | | | We start with a sketch of the historical background of the area (Section 1) and the earlier approaches to the contacts among the CB languages, especially the various attempts to find a Sprachbund or Sprachbünde in this area (Section 2). |
