Estonian: Setu...
"Estonian is spoken by about 75 per cent of the
1,220,000 in-
habitants of the Estonian Republic of the Soviet Union, and by
almost 200,000 more scattered throughout
Russia, Western
Europe, and the New World. The Estonians have inhabited the
Baltic region for more than two millennia; they were remarked
by Tacitus, who called them Aesti. Forcibly
Christianized by the
Livonian Knights in the 14th century,
they were dominated by
Russia from 1710 until the period of
Estonian independence,
1918-1940. Estonia has been a constituent republic of the Soviet
Union since 1940. The Estonians, who call themselves
‘estlased’,
are linguistically related to the Finns and speak a West
Finnic
tongue of the Uralian family.
Three distinct Estonian dialects are distinguished: Tallinn, or
Reval, the northern dialect spoken in the capital; and the
southern dialects, Tartu (Dorpat) and Setu. Setu is spoken in the
area south of Lake Peipus in the Estonian Republic of the USSR." --1000

**File: Estonian Critical Text History
"The first New Testament published in the Estonian
language
was in 1715. A replica of the 1715 Estonian Bible is now
available for the Estonian people. The first translation was
finished by Hohann Hornung (1660-1715) and Adrian Virginius
(1663-1706). Over sixty years translation work had been done.
This translation was from Traditional Text Greek and Hebrew.
The translators were German pastors and Luther's German
Translation was also a source text. The complete Bible was
published in 1739. The Old Testament was completed by
Anton Thor Helle (1683-1748). He united two Estonian
dialects in his translation. ....
The Russian Bible Society is
studying the available Estonian
texts to see which is closest to the Received Text." --Phil Stringer
