Balts

The Balts or Baltic peoples have lived on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea or Mare Suebicum (Tacitus, AD 98) since the third millennium BC. The Baltic peoples consisted of several tribes. Some of these, such as the Old Prussians, no longer exist. Latvia and Lithuania are the modern nations formed by Baltic peoples. Balts speak Baltic languages which belong to the Baltic language group of the Indo-European language family and are neither Germanic or Slavic.
