Wasn't Curonian a West Baltic language?

Afaik they kept original diphthongs like -ou- and -ei- instead of turning them into -uo- and -ie- like East Baltic did. And also when monophthongisizing they preferred the letter -o- instead of -u-, and it's also likely that they called themselves Kóršē instead of Kuršē

Some historians think it's western Baltic, some think it's eastern Baltic. It's still not widely agreed which one was it.

Basically - originally it was closer to Old Prussian, but over the years it grew much closed to Eastern Baltic languages.
