Maybe.. Anyway. it's something that I have been looking at for a number
of years... initially because of geographic location. Then because
Meyers also thought so.
Below is a recent cladistics lingusitic tree that is based upon an
enormous number of word language group comparisons. It appears to show
Latvian as being more conservative than Lithuanian.
Secondly - as I have long argued with the usual bunch of *pie morons -
the Baltic group (Latvian and Lithuanian) - sits supreme as the
mainline language group of the entire 'indo-european' language tree in
this cladistic analysis.
(It really should be called the 'Baltic-European' language tree.)
Here is the supportive evidence that I posted in another forum,
reposted:
" Yours seems to be a malformed tree.
Try this one, instead (Fig 7 'Best tree for entire indo-european
dataset'):
