The Latvian Language
- Latvian is natively known as Latviešu valoda and belongs to the Indo-European, Balto-Slavic, Baltic, Eastern Baltic language family.
- There are approximately 1.7 million native speakers worldwide.
- Latvian is one of only two surviving Baltic languages (alongside Lithuanian), a branch of Indo-European that is among the most archaic in Europe.
- Latvian has a distinctive system of diacritical marks, using macrons (\xc4\x81, \xc4\x93, \xc4\xab, \xc5\xab) for long vowels and cedillas/commas (\xc4\xa3, \xc4\xb7, \xc4\xbc, \xc5\x86) for palatalised consonants.
- The Latvian language was a key element of the national awakening movement in the 19th century and the independence movements of 1918 and 1991.
- Latvian has preserved features of Proto-Indo-European including pitch accent (in some dialects) and a rich case system with seven cases.
- During the Soviet occupation (1940-1991), Latvian faced significant pressure from Russian, and the language's survival was a central concern of the independence movement.
- The Latvian community in Australia, numbering a few thousand, was established primarily by post-World War II displaced persons who fled Soviet occupation. Communities in Melbourne and Sydney maintained Latvian Saturday schools, churches (Lutheran), and cultural associations. The community is ageing, but renewed interest has come from a small number of post-1991 migrants.
