Question: are balts and slavs related?
Answer: Slavs are people who speak Slavic languages. Yes. ... This was not, because Balts (the ancestors of Lithuanians and Latvians) appeared as a mix of Slavic tribes and Ural tribes about 500 ВС. Some Ural tribes (Finno-Ugric language group) came to the shores of the Baltic Sea in the 1st millennium BC.
