Thank you,
I think, our language is normal and alive today. We only replenish the word stock, but this process is endless. As for Seto, have you contacts with Estonians who revitalize it? In Latvia there are also many patriots of Livian (Livonian) language. However Finnic languages are much more difficult than our primitive Modern Prussian

Dear Dr. Palmantis,

unfortunately I am not Baltist, and initially my research interests are located in region remote from Baltia and Europe, but I suppose that my distant ancestors could be Yatvingians (according to a family legend, but actually I have never considered it as serious matter); however, since childhood I have been interested in different antiquities and paganism so this interest probably can be implementation of Yatvingian heritage.
From what you have written I can see that Prussian and Yatvingian are just different idioms of the same continuum, like, may be, for instance Seto and Võro, i.e.: Prussian and Yatvingian can be considered as different names of the same language.
And yes, I see that it's rather difficult task to revitalize languages with complicated morphology like Prussian/Yatvingian. I also would offer some regularization and simplification in order to make a language become spread wider.
As for Curonian: as I see, there are even less materials on it than on Prussian, so I suppose that it would be better not to revitalize Curonian, but to develop yours Yatvingized Prussian further, i.e.: make it be a normal alive language.

потому что прусский и ятвяжский - это разные названия одного и того же диалектного континуума, потому что прусский и ятвяжский были взаимопониманемы.
