Editing Old Prussian language (section)

====Catechisms====
The longest texts preserved in Old Prussian are three Catechisms printed in {{lang|de|[[Königsberg]]|italic=no}} in 1545, 1545, and 1561 respectively. The first two consist of only six pages of text in Old Prussian – the second one being a correction of the first. The third catechism, or ''Enchiridion'', consists of 132 pages of text, and is a translation of [[Luther's Small Catechism]] by a German cleric called Abel Will, with his Prussian assistant Paul Megott. Will himself knew little or no Old Prussian, and his Prussian interpreter was probably illiterate, but according to Will spoke Old Prussian quite well. The text itself is mainly a word-for-word translation, and Will phonetically recorded Megott's oral translation. Because of this, the ''Enchiridion'' exhibits many irregularities, such as the lack of case agreement in phrases involving an [[article (linguistics)|article]] and a [[noun]], which followed word-for-word German originals as opposed to native Old Prussian syntax.{{r|Trautmann1910|page=XXVII}}{{r|Klussis|pages=8{{Hyphen}}9}}
