Special Thanks to Prūsiska Tāliwidāsna Prussian dictionary. Baltic Prussian was a Western Baltic language once spoken by the Old Prussians, the Baltic peoples of the Prussian region. The language is called Old Prussian to avoid confusion with the German dialects of Low Prussian and High Prussian and with the adjective Prussian as it relates to the later German state. Old Prussian began to be written down in the Latin alphabet in about the 13th century, and a small amount of literature in the language survives. In addition to Prussia proper, the original territory of the Old Prussians might have included eastern parts of Pomerelia (some parts of the region east of the Vistula River). The language might have also been spoken much further east and south in what became Polesia and part of Podlasie, with the conquests by Rus and Poles starting in the 10th century and the German colonisation of the area that began in the 12th century Old Prussian was closely related to the other extinct Western Baltic languages, namely Curonian, Galindian[5] and Sudovian. It is related to the Eastern Baltic languages such as Lithuanian and Latvian, and more distantly related to Slavic. Compare the words for “land“: Old Prussian semmē, Russian: земля́ (zemljá), Latvian: zeme and Lithuanian: žemė. Old Prussian contained loanwords from Slavic languages (e.g., Old Prussian curtis “hound“, like Lithuanian kùrtas and Latvian kur̃ts, comes from Slavic (compare Ukrainian: хорт, khort; Polish: chart; Czech: chrt)), as well as a few borrowings from Germanic, including from Gothic (e.g., Old Prussian ylo “awl“ as with Lithuanian ýla, Latvian īlens) and from Scandinavian languages.
