Selonian was a Baltic language spoken by the Eastern Baltic tribe of the Selonians, who until the 15th century lived in Selonia,
a territory in South Eastern Latvia and North Eastern Lithuania. During the 13th-15th centuries the Selonians lost their language
after being assimilated by the Latgalians and partly by the Lithuanians. It is considered that the Selonian language retained
the proto-Baltic phonemes *an, *en, *in, *un like the Lithuanian language, but like the Latvian language the proto-Baltic
*kʲ, *ɡʲ changed to c, dz, and the proto Baltic *š, *ž changed to s, z. Traces of the Selonian language can still be found
in the territories the Selonians inhabited, especially in the accent and phonetics of the so-called Selonian dialect of the
Latvian language. There are some traces of the Selonian language in the North Eastern sub-dialects of the Aukštaitian dialect
of Lithuanian language, mostly in the lexicon. {{#invoke: Navbox | navbox }} |
