词源 | LithuaniaBaltic nation, from Lithuanian Lietuva, a name of unknown origin, perhaps from a PIE source related to Latin litus " [T]he Lithuanian language is remarkable for its great beauty. It has more endearing terms than the Spanish, the Italian or the Russian. If the value of a nation in the whole of humanity were to be measured by the beauty and purity of its language, the Lithuanians would rank first among the nations of Europe.
