In the Paris of the East they speak Latvian
Did you know that Latvia, the northernmost of the Baltic countries, is called the Paris of the East? Its capital, Riga, is particularly well-known for its colourful and rich architecture.
If you visit Latvia, you’ll no doubt hear Latvian as well as Russian, because only 60% of Latvians actually speak Latvian. The rest of them use Russian as their official language.
Counting the days of the week
Another interesting fact is that the days of the week are counted in Latvia, literally. Monday is “the first day”, Tuesday “the second day” and so on until “the seventh day”.
Latvian belongs to the Indo-European language family, specifically to the Balto-Slavic group. It is very similar to Lithuanian.
It is an official language in the Republic of Latvia and it’s used as a language of diaspora in the USA (about 100,000 people), the Republic of Ireland (about 50,000 people), Great Britain (around 40,000 people), Canada and Brazil (about 28,000 people), Russia, Australia, New Zealand (about 20,000 people), and also in Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, and Belgium. Overall it’s spoken by almost 1.7 million people.
Latvian has three dialects: Livonian, Upper Latvian, and Middle dialect, which is the basis of standard Latvian.
As for typology, Latvian is classified among the inflected languages. It has seven grammatical cases and two grammatical genders – masculine and feminine.
There are no articles in Latvian, but adjectives can take a definite or indefinite form. Stress is usually placed on the first syllable. Latvian uses the Latin alphabet with 33 letters.
