OLD PRUSSIAN LANGUAGE - History and Grammar Description
This video presents the history and grammar structure of THE PRUSSIAN LANGUAGE (PRŪSISKA BILĀ / German = ALTPREUSSISCHE SPRACHE) was not the language of the Germanized “Prussians“ so famous as the first great German state that unified Germany in the 19th century, but rather a relative of Lithuanian and Latvian, belonging to the Baltic languages, and Old Prussia was invaded and Germanized by the Order of Teutonic Knights in the Baltic Crusades of the 12th century and ended up extinct, buried by Germanic rule over the centuries, until its last speakers died around 1730. The only literary work in existence today in the language Old Prussian ’and a Lutheran catechism of 1545 which gives us a few thousand words with German translation, otherwise few records of this language, which never had abundant literary expression, exist today. On the MOPC Linguistics Channel you can see a summary of what we know and what could be reconstructed of this mysterious extinct language of Central Europe. Prussian was an SVO language, with prepositions and 3 grammatical genders (masculine, neuter and feminine) and two numbers (singular and plural) and a declension with four cases (simpler than Lithuanian and Latvian) and a verb conjugation as far as is known relatively simple, with present, simple past and a periphrastic perfect and future, with auxiliary past participle, which curiously agrees with the subject’s gender.
