    I live in an area in northeast Pennsylvania where a lot of Lithuanian immigrants settled around the early 1900's, including my Grandparents who came from Punia. Sadly, the language was never handed down and barely anyone knows more than just a few words. The only learning resources I have is KZread. I've been picking up bits and pieces here and there and have been studying for about 10 years. Despite this I keep listening to pop music, news casts, culture videos and my favorite cooking videos when they are posted. Every bit helps.

    Hi there, Joseph! Thanks for the comment. My great grandfather had also emigrated to the US in the early 1900s but he came back to Lithuania later on in his life. Unfortunately, I don’t know where he had settled during his time abroad, this part even my grandma does not know. Nonetheless, I wanted to let you know that a few months ago I have started a Lithuanian podcast for non-Lithuanian speakers, mainly students from abroad. If you’d be curious to listen to it, here’s the link: kzread.info/head/PL1RSy2yTe52G5D0SgYWmTAKqN2tuxlJBI&si=NszOelBWoucXNO3s

    You would not understand anything that a Lithuanian person says to you except a few lone words. I wonder how does that make it ‘almost identical.’ Maybe for a person who lives solely in his mind and not in the real, objective world.

    BTW who defines what it means for a language to die? What constitutes death of a language? If people still learn and the language is taught and used in specific instances of daily life is it dead? What does it mean really? Before one says what it means for a language to die, we should kinda refrains from using that term. It is interesting how the guest believe in a multi language formula. I think India should have a 4 language formula especially given the migrations that are happening. The North should be required to learn at least one south-Indian language. Mother tongue, Sanskrit, Hindi and a South Indian Language. You chan chose to learn Foreign language if you like but That should be later on your own time. I do not like the idea that we cannot communicate among ourselves and need to use a foreign common language to communicate with each other. As for Sanskrit, I formally studied sanskrit for 5 years and have been tutored by an Expert at it. It is a must. It is the root of most Indian languages. Especially all Languages have this notion of Tat Sama and Tat Bhava, meaning equivalent and substitutable and originating from as a root. The substitutability of Sanskrit for any word in the local tongue is important here. It is considered as an equivalent of the native word and most people would have heard it in their own languages. So it makes it easier to learn other Indian languages. Paniniyan grammar must be made a must for people studying Computer Science....

    @@theinkwellpod most metropolitan cities you already grow up hearing multiple languages. As an example, I can speak and read a bit of telugu. My mother tongue is Tamil, I know Kannada very well as I grew up in Karnataka. Learnt Kannada at school. English at school. Can understand most Malayalam as it is a mix of Tamil and Sanskrit. Learned 5 years of Sanskrit. In India it is really not difficult. I learnt Hindi for 8 years in school. You can also layer language instruction through out schooling of nearly 12 years. It needs good planning and a reasonable curriculum. I understand a bit of Urdu as well. As a result ok knowing Hindi and Sanskrit, it exposes most North Indian languages int a territory of familiarity. One need not be a linguistic expert, getting functional and developing appreciation should be the goal. My only regret was not learning French and Japanese when presented the opportunity. How did I learn telugu? Friends and movies….

Some politician and geographical reasons made us forget our roots but I m happy that we started to find each other again.

    The reason Russians bring up the US in conversations is double standards in the West and the moral high ground Westerners are trying to take. If you didn't condemn US invasions but you are condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it means it's not about the invasion, it's about the one doing it.

    At the same time it’s simple scapegoating. You don’t beat up your wife on the claim that your neighbour does it and you don’t rob shops because some gangsters do. This logic is flawed and it takes away all the responsibility from one’s own actions redirecting the listeners attention elsewhere. Simply put, it’s a way to avoid an uncomfortable question to which you don’t have a proper answer hoping that the other person will take the bait.

  • @poohoff
    @poohoff3 ай бұрын

    @theinkwellpod scapegoating is shifting the responsibility. Nobody's saying that Russia invaded Ukraine because the US invaded Iraq. The argument is, if you want to hold Russians responsible for the actions of their government, you should've done same thing to Americans, banning US athletes from the Olympics and boycotting American culture. If you did none of that, you're a hypocrite. Simple as that.

    Both Lithuanian and latvian are very old languages which are derived from proto baltic languages. The Proto baltic language itself retains many archaic features from Proto Indo European. I learned Lithuanian last two years Lithuanian grammar is very old and very inflected means that nouns, adjectives and pronouns have many different endings that express the meaning of the sentence. In some Lithuanian dialects have extra number call dual. Difference between Sanskrit and Lithuanian is Lithuanian still preserved final nominative s ending like Devas means God, in Sanskrit final s is lost it becomes Deva.

    Sanskrit is a refined language(sometimes attributed as Deva-bhasha or language of the gods itself), with an intentional 'a' to have a soft end unlike the hard end of 's'. All other day to day usage languages over time lost their finesse and became rigid in certain places, including the prakrit languages of India itself and other languages of the extended family. Btw, we don't believe the Proto-Indo European Homeland to be in North Europe or in Ukraine/Caucuses, but in India itself. We have many stories of outward migrations, in times of famines or due to wars or in some cases to rule the conquered lands(via Ashwamedha Yajna).

    That’s funny. In the 14th century The Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the largest state in Europe while Moscow was still just a fort. Both cultures developed independently of one another. The only crossover that they had were wars and that after 1795 most of Lithuanian lands got annexed and assimilated into the Russian Empire where it stayed until 1918. Total nonsense.
