Edits to Balts
Hi, I have accepted a reverting edit you, or someone at this IP address, made, under Pending Changes. I do not accept the characterisation of the preceding edits as "Nonsense" but the role is to ensure that edits are normal and have at least arguable validity, and as neither the other editor nor yourself had citations, both positions appear possible. The points are issue are two:

-Thus, Baltic languages lie on a linguistic spectrum from west to east: Celtic → Germanic → Baltic → Slavic.
 * Do the Balts speak languages which are generally considered to form a sub-family, or are they just elements on the main Indo-European spectrum?
 * Is this agreed in scholarly work to be the case:

I hope these points can be resolved in a referenced and respectful way. I am not an expert in this area, so I will not be participating.

Why not visit the Balto-Slavic page, most of the information can be found there? Baltic languages are classified as Balto-Slavic as per majority consensus, like this:

Indo-European -> Balto-Slavic -> Baltic

And the Slavic languages:

Indo-European -> Balto-Slavic -> Slavic

Compare to the North Germanic languages:

Indo-European -> Germanic -> North Germanic

The idea that they form a spectrum with Germanic, Celtic etc. isn't valid in the way the article proposed. Languages SORT OF form a spectrum, via influence, but not in that they are specifically bridges and they are still classified by language family. The idea that Celtic is connected to Baltic via Germanic and Germanic to Slavic via Baltic is actually pretty nonsensical, linguistically speaking.
