- More about Foundations of Old Prussian: Philology and Linguistics
Old Prussian is a Baltic language that was extinguished at the beginning of the eighteenth century, and the Old Prussian linguistic corpus is limited. This work critically explores the linguistic and historiographical contours of Old Prussian by drawing on two bilingual vocabularies, three Lutheran Catechisms, onomastic evidence, and other minor texts.

Linguists have long been intrigued by the Old Prussian language, which stands apart from other Baltic languages like Lithuanian and Latvian, which are still in use today. While other Baltic languages have endured, Old Prussian was lost at the beginning of the eighteenth century, leaving behind a relatively small linguistic corpus. This study employs a comprehensive approach, drawing on two bilingual vocabularies, three Lutheran Catechisms, onomastic evidence, and various other minor texts. By critically examining these sources, the work aims to shed light on the linguistic and historical aspects of Old Prussian, providing a deeper understanding of this fascinating language and its place in the broader linguistic landscape.
