Чому литовська мова ближча до санскриту, ніж до сусідів?

Some of the steppe people, whom we talked about in the film about the Yamna culture, five thousand years ago moved neither west nor east, but north — deep into the forests. And traces of this journey have been found not only in Lithuania or Latvia, but even in Polesie, in the north of modern Ukraine. The Lithuanian language is spoken today by several million people — and linguists claim that it has preserved a grammar that is almost identical to Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, thousands of kilometers away. In this video — why the Balts are frozen in time: a language that has not changed for 5,000 years, genetics that confirm the connection with the steppe, Lithuania — the last pagan state in Europe, and what of this history remains on Ukrainian soil. ⏰ TIME CODES: 00:00 — THE YAMNA CULTURE IS MOVING NORTH 02:34 — WHO ARE THE BALTS AND WHERE DO THEY LIVE TODAY 04:14 — WHY DID THIS BRANCH SURVIVE — GEOGRAPHY 06:14 — A LANGUAGE STUCK IN TIME 08:01 — WHAT GENETICS SAYS 09:27 — EUROPE'S LAST PAGANS 11:29 — A LAND THAT WAS MUCH LARGER 13:30 — BALTS AND SLAVS — ONE PEOPLE OR NEIGHBORS? 15:20 — AMBER ROAD 17:05 — LANGUAGE THAT HAS DISAPPEARED 18:53 — TRACE OF THE BALTS IN UKRAINE 20:36 — WHAT IS LEFT OF THE YAMNYKS IN THE NORTH (FINAL) Sources: Mittnik et al. 2018 (Nature Communications), Tacitus "Germania" (98 AD), Elblag Dictionary (14th century). ☕️ Treat yourself to a coffee and support the channel (Donatello): 👉 https://donatello.to/shepit_davnyny ✨ Become a channel sponsor: 👉    / @ДавняІсторіяУкраїниШепітДавнин   #balts #ancienthistoryofukraine #lithuanianlanguage #pitculture #sanskrit #perkunas #lastpagans #indoeuropeanlanguages ​​#prussianlanguage
