Lithuanian is a Baltic language spoken primarily in Lithuania where it is the official language. It is also one of the official languages of the European Union. Lithuanian is unique in the sense that it is one of only two living Baltic languages, along with Latvian, and among Indo-European languages, Lithuanian has retained many old features which are found only in ancient languages such as Sanskrit or ancient Greek. This makes Lithuanian an important language despite a small number of native speakers, since the language is very vital for reconstructing the Proto-Indo-European language. For several decades, the Lithuanian language was banned in education and publishing. This was due to an uprising the Russian Empire, and the ban was placed on the Lithuanian language by Mikhail Muravyov, the Russian Governor General of Lithuania, barring the use of the Latin alphabet altogether. Lithuanian books, however, continued to be printed across the border in East Prussia and smuggled into the country. Ukrainian is an East Slavic language and the official state language of Ukraine. Just like Lithuanian, for a significant period of time, the Ukrainian language was banned by the Russian Empire, lasting from the early 19th century until the Russian Revolution. Historically speaking, before the establishment of the USSR and even before becoming a part of the Russian Empire, Ukraine and Lithuania had been part of the same state for over 200 years from the 16th to the 18th century, when Poland and Lithuania incorporated Ukraine into the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
