Proto-Latvian language

I have strong doubts about this article, because Lithuanian language is older than Latvian. --Visconsus (talk) 12:17, 4 April 2008 (UTC) Text copied from article talk page. ➨ REDVEЯS knows it's gonna happen someday 21:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does Proto Lithuanian predate Proto Latvian hard to say. Though to state categorically that Proto Lithuanian is the proto langauge of all Baltic states is spurious at best. There is little difference in both these proto languages, both having evolved from the Indo European. Stub should be kept but reworded to remove unsourced and likely Original Research content.

Redirect to Baltic languages. This seems likely original research as well, and in any case if there is sourceable research on reconstructing a protolanguage ancestral to the Baltic language, our coverage in that article could use some major expansion. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Our article about the Latvian language says it evolved from the Latgalian language. I don't know, if that makes Latgalian the same as Proto-Latvian, but I would suggest making Proto-Latvian language a redirect to Latgalian language until someone finds some sourced information and possibly makes Proto-Latvian language a separate article again. A redirect to Latvian language might also make sense. We already have a stub about a proto-langauge of all Baltic languages and that's Proto-Baltic language. — Kpalion^(talk) 18:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Kpalion. --Visconsus (talk) 14:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
