There are more than languages in the world. Latvian language is the official state language of the Republic of Latvia. There are about 1,5 million native speakers in Latvia and about 120,000 abroad.

Lithuanian Its closest and only living relative is Lithuanian language: piens - pienas (milk) slota – šluota (a broom) zirnis – žirnis ( a pea) The first written texts in Latvian appeared more than 400 years ago. Examples :

33 The present Latvian alphabet consists of 33 letters: a, ā, b, c, č, d, e, ē, f, g, ģ, h, i, ī, j, k, ķ, l, ļ, m, n, ņ, o, p, r, s, š, t, u, ū, v, z, ž. 22 letters are from Latin alphabet.

A Ā B C Č D E Ē F G Ģ H I Ī J K Ķ L Ļ M N Ņ O P R S Š T U Ū V Z Ž a ā b c č d e ē f g ģ h i ī j k ķ l ļ m n ņ o p r s š t u ū v z ž Usage of BIG and small letters. Examples : - Rīga - Ilze -Eiropas Savienība (EU) -Baltijas jūra (the Baltic sea) etc.

A, E, I U The vowel letters A, E, I and U can take a macron to show length, unmodified letters being short.

C,S Z The consonants C,S and Z in modified form can be marked with a caron (v).

Ģ, Ķ, Ļ Ņ The letters Ģ, Ķ, Ļ and Ņ are written with a cedilla or little 'comma' placed below.

O The letter O indicates both the short and long [ɔ], and the diphthong [uɔ] Bruno Ola (an egg)

So, lets train to speak in Latvian: brikšņi - brushwood jokains – funny Ola (an egg)
