The Lithuanian language (Lietùvių kalbà) is the official language of Lithuania and one of the official languages of the European Union. About three million people in Lithuania are speaking in Lithuanian and about 170 thousand are spoken abroad. Refers to the Baltic group of the Indo-European family of languages, comparatively similar to the Latvian, although they are not mutually intelligible.
Lithuanian is divided into two main dialects: Aukštajt and Jemait (aukštaičių ir žemaičių tarmės). They come from the Lithuanian words "high" and "low" and indicate the dispersal of their carriers relative to the course of the Neman river. Modern Lithuanian literary language is based on the dialect of Western Auschwitz (Suwalkians).
