Baltic Studies. Lithuanian Science

Baltic Studies are a complex science involving comparative research of the spiritual and material culture of the Baltic nations. As a separate field of Baltic Studies, Baltic linguistics is the most well-formed and widely-known. German linguist, archaeologist and ethnographer A. Bezzenberger is considered the father of Baltic Studies.  The term «Balts» (Baltic languages) was created and used for the first time in 1845 by the German linguist G.H.F. Nesselmann. After World War II, in the field of Baltic linguistics, Lithuanian researchers contributed the most. Depending on which nation’s culture is studied, Baltic studies are divided into Lithuanian studies, Latvian studies, Old Prussian studies, etc. By researching problem areas, the works of specialists in Baltic studies can fall under linguistics, literature, folklore, mythology, history, archaeology, anthropology and so on.
