Samogitian (endonym: žemaitiu kalba or sometimes žemaitiu rokunda, žemaitiu šnekta or žemaitiu ruoda; Lithuanian: žemaičių tarmė, žemaičių kalba)[2] is an Eastern Baltic language spoken mostly in Samogitia (in the western part of Lithuania). Although originally regarded as a Lithuanian dialect, Samogitian has since been recognized as a separate language[3] inside[4] and outside of Lithuania, obtaining increasingly more recognition as a distinct language in the recent years.[5] Several attempts have been made to standardize it.[6]
