The Lithuanian language is the official language of Lithuania and is spoken by about 3 million people. As one of the two surviving Baltic languages, it developed on the western shore of the Baltic Sea after the 9th century, when it split from Latvian, its only living close relative.
The first known written text dates back to the early 16th century, and the language was standardized based on the western dialect of Jonas Jablonskis, the linguist who proposed standardization in the early 20th century. Lithuanian is unique in that it resembles the ancestral Indo-European languages more closely than any other living language.
