The Kuršininkai (Curonians; German: Kuren; Lithuanian: Kuršininkai; Latvian: Kursenieki) (sg. Kursenieks) are a nearly extinct Baltic ethnic group living along the Curonian Spit. "Kuršininkai" refers only to inhabitants of Lithuania and former East Prussia that speak a Latvian language dialect. Autochthonous inhabitants of Palanga in Lithuania call themselves "Curonians" as well, but in Lithuania they usually are counted as Latvians.
