Lithuanian-language
Lithuanian ( ) is an Eastern Baltic language belonging to the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family.

Newspapers Established In 1911
A newspaper is a periodical publication containing written information about current events and is often typed in black ink with a white or gray background. Newspapers can cover a wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sports and art, and often include materials such as opinion columns, weather forecasts, reviews of local services, obituaries, birth notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and advice columns.
