    Yes, I think that Lithuanian has the most archaisms of any living Indo-European language, but I don't think that it is directly related to the close proximity of the PIE urheimat, but instead is more affected by the rule of periphery: innovations and loans are less likely to be adopted from others when your neighbours are scarce and you yourself are isolated.
    I see. well, I go look at it:

    EDIT: nice language. can anyone explain though how the inverted a is pronunced (th IPA symbol)?

    Hey... I dont parrot BS off the internets... I read books, I just don't remember each book I've read and pulled out of the library. And I only have a few of my own on this timeframe. My big hobby is WW2, ive got an entire bookshelf dedicated to books and what have you on WW2. I even own a .303 Lee Enfield.

    Thankyou though Kervanos, I usually bookmark your posts so i can go back and read your findings later :P
