Latvian...
"Latvian, or Lettish, is spoken by about 2
million people, includ-
ing the Latgalians, in the Latvian
Republic of the Soviet Union.
The Baltic-stock inhabitants of Lettland were
evangelized in the
13th century by the Livonian Knights,
who dominated the
region for more than 200 years. Later the country fell in frag-
ments to Poland and
Sweden, and in the late 18th century
was
annexed by Russia. In 1918
Latvia declared its independence, but
it was finally incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1940.
Latvian is a Baltic, or Balto-Slavic language, related to Lithuan-
ian and Latgalian, which is
occasionally termed the Eastern, or
Upper, Latvian dialect." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
