Summary/Abstract: The oldest contacts between Baltic and Finnic languages have mostly been researched by Finnic and Uralic linguistics. When referring to these studies, Baltologists mainly quote a Lithuanian-language review by Sabaliauskas 1963. However, the Uralicist knowledge on the contacts has substantially increased during the latest half a century. This article presents an updated overall view of all four sub-fields Sabaliauskas treated: Finnic loanwords in Baltic, Baltic loanwords in Finnic, grammatical similarities between the two language groups, and linguistic and archaeological considerations on the prehistoric context of the contacts.
