Old Prussian belongs to the Balto-Slavic branch of the Indo-European language family. It was spoken in (today´s) north-eastern Poland and part of Russia, east of the Vistula river to the 18th century AD. Besides individual words, personal names, toponyms and two vocabularies (Simon Grunau’s vocabulary of about 100 words from 1517-1525,  the Elbing vocabulary of 802 words from about 1400 AD, Bernecker 1896:246), three catechisms in the Sambian dialect of Old Prussian, dating from 1545 and 1561 (altogether 144 pages of text, Bernecker 1896:1-87), fragment of the Pater Noster and several fragmentary texts. The oldest text is the Basel epigram from 1369.

As the size of the corpus is small, the examples of adjective valence are very scarce. Because this page is concerned with adjective valence of ancient languages, Old Prussian examples are not included.
