Thaaaat’s a negative. Languages of Latvia: http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.a… Languages of Estonia: http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.a… Languages of Lithuania: http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.a… There is a chance that a lot of the population still speaks some Russian, or even English, but they are not really national languages. Both Latvian and Lithuanian are Eastern Baltic languages, so they might be able to understand each other a bit, however, Estonian comes from a different source (Baltic-Finnic), so they wouldn’t be able to understand each other…maybe a word here or there.
