Lietuvių administracinės kalbos pokyčiai
The Changes of the Lithuanian Administrative Language

Summary/Abstract: The development of the Lithuanian administrative language has always been influenced by other languages. The first Lithuanian administrative texts to have survived until the present were translated from German. In the Grand Principality of Lithuania there were not many written administrative texts in the Lithuanian language. They were translated from Polish. In the 19th and 20th centuries, administrative texts were compiled according to the example of the Russian language. At the end of the 20th century, English made a great influence on the Lithuanian administrative language. When the Republic of Lithuania joined the EU, the influence of the EU documents as well as the English language on the Lithuanian administrative language became inevitable.
