A great lot of common features in phonetics, morphology and lexicon generated the theory of the common Balto-Slavic language which could exist in East Europe before it split into separate dialects. Lithuanian also has a number of definite cognates in Thracian and other ancient Balkan languages, mostly in lexicon. Close Contacts Slavic is obviously the closest relative of the Baltic tongues. Among other families, Finnish languages definitely influenced morphology and lexicon of Lithuanian. Tai labai teisingai galima sakyti apie Lietuva ir jos miestus bei gamta.
People are quite right to say that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred ones.
This is especially correct when we speak about Lithuania and its cities and nature.
