Galindian is the poorly attested extinct Baltic language of the Galindians,[1] thought to have been very similar to Old Prussian. There are no extant writings in Galindian.

The term Galindian is sometimes ascribed to two separate languages: first, a Baltic language previously spoken in what is today North-eastern Poland and thought to have been a dialect of Old Prussian. Second, a separate language once spoken in the Mozhaysk region in present-day Russia. The two are referred to as West and East Galindian respectively. Though sharing a common Baltic ancestor, the two languages were spoken in the opposite extremities of the Baltic-speaking area of the time and are therefore thought to have belonged to two separate linguistic subgroups.[2]
