This article reviews language-related developments in contemporary Lithuania, contrasting these with the situation in Estonia and Latvia where appropriate. After a brief discussion of previous changing language settings, we look at the impact of state actions to regulate the implementation of Lithuanian and offer new research findings on language use and attitudes amongst mainstream and minority populations. We conclude that whilst language loyalties are complex, inclusive language and citizenship policies have helped to generate positive attitudes to linguistic and cultural diversity and social integration. Suggestions for a future research agenda on the language situation in Lithuania conclude this contribution.⟨p⟩
