Re: Latvian Language Older Than Lithuanian?

By the way - it's not a competition. Lithuanian gets no prize for being
more conservative. Look, EU just rejected us for the Euro.

Thanks for responding. No it ain't a contest - we had a common language
just a few centuries ago. And what we have now are just some different
versions of that common language. But I thought I'd shake the bushes a
bit. And lookee.. holeman fell out.

Somewhat predictable, he.
