Lithuanian, like
Latvian is a member of the
Baltic group of the
Indo-European family of languages. One should refer to
yossarian's
excellent write-up under
Latvian for more information about this group of
languages.
Like Latvian, Lithuanian makes use of almost unprintable
characters in its orthography, viz.:
- a, e, j, and u (with hooks);
- c, s, and z (with reversed circumflexes);
- u (with a breve
accent); &
- e (with a dot above it).
