Lithuanian (lietuviu kalba) is the official state language of the Republic of Lithuania, spoken by about 4 million native speakers.
Lithuanian still retains many of the original features of the nominal morphology found in the common ancestors of the Indo-European languages, and has therefore been the focus of much study in the area of Indo-European linguistics. Studies in the field of comparative linguistics have shown it to be the most archaic among the living Indo-European languages.
