Prussian 1 and 2

Prussian is an ancient language spoken by the baltic tribes around the modern region of kaliningrad. It went extinct in the 17th century, but linguists in the region are working on reviving it.

I’m working on the grammar course, and I will create Part 3 once enough people start looking at the other two.

I didn’t know Prussian was a language, I thought they spoke German for some reason

@J12321 In the state of Prussia they spoke dialects of German. Old Prussian is a different language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Prussian_language

This isn’t a German dialect. It’s the language spoken by the baltic tribes living in the region before it became a state.

you’re wrong: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochpreußisch)

(and btw, in those times, of course one did not have and speak about and Hochdeutsch)
