#### Preposition

laut [with dative or (less common) genitive]
* according to
    Synonym: lt.

##### Usage notes

The preposition laut governs either the dative or genitive case. Originally used with genitive, the dative has been more common since 1900:
   * laut einem Bericht (also: eines Berichts) — according to a report.
The dative case is always used for plural nouns not preceded by an article, determiner, or adjective:
   * laut Berichten (not: Berichte) — according to reports.
An isolated noun of the strong declension remains uninflected in the singular:
   * laut Bericht (not: Berichts) — according to the report.

##### Descendants

* → Esperanto: laŭ

### Etymology 3
