Lithuanian is one of the world's oldest surviving languages, and is distantly related to Sanskrit, a religious and literary language in India. The words for god and day, for instance, are devas and dina in Sanskrit and dievas and diena in Lithuanian. Because it has changed less than other languages, Lithuanian is a linguistic link to the past and has a special place in the study of languages. It's one of two languages in the Baltic branch of Indo-European languages; the other is Latvian. Lithuanian is also related to now-extinct Old Prussian. It's not related to Estonian. You will fare well if you speak Russia; fluency in English is increasing steadily.
