That's why they have laws about protection of language because half of their people are Russian speaking and without protecting their original languages it would desapear in next few years. Especially when I was in Latvia I saw that situation is alarming, especially in Riga really most of people are speaking Russian from what I heard there. But all insctriptions at public places are strictly in Latvian which is only reasong why that Russian speaking people should learn Latvian and keep that language alive.

@@Pidalin What you are talking about is a Latvian-specific problem that stems from the rather weak Latvian partisan resistance against the Soviet Union. When Stallin occupied the Baltic States, he started moving Russian colonists into them in order to Russify the lands. While Latvians tried to resist this, it was not as strong as the Lithuanian Resistance: the Lithuanian Guerilla Fighters would burn households of newly "imported" Russians and make their lives a living hell. Therefore, Russians were scared of moving into Lithuania, as they were shown that they were severly unwelcome, and chose to go to Estonia and Latvia instead. Later, after WWII, a Antanas Sniečkus became the Chairman of the Communist party of the Lithuanian SSR. Even though he was a devoted communist and comitted some horrible crimes, he was a nationalist, and did everything in his power to prevent Russians from coming to Lithuania. He didn't fear Stalin one bit. This resulted in half of Latvian population today being Russian speakers, while 87 percent of Lithuania being Lithuanian speakers, the other two shared by small percentages of Russians and Polish. Plus, the same Russians that live in Lithuania have different mentality than those in Latvia - Lithuanian Russians are rather pro-Lithuanian, know the language and will speak Lithuanian if required. A really big number of them choose to serve in the Lithuanian Military and are known public figures. Latvian Russians, however, can only be likened to cockroaches who infest another mans property and act as if they are at home. They refuse to learn Latvian on purpose and express deep imperial attitudes.

@@rytisliaucys3444 I think it's not only because USSR history but even because after 1990 history when many Latvian people went to western Europe and another Russians arrived and took their place. Here in Czech Republic I noticed in last few years I hear Russian very oftern, much often than I would want, something is changing here I guess. When I was kid everything was only Czech, in historical places sometimes English or German. Today I see cyrillic everywhere and hear Russian very often and I don't like that. It's starting be like before 1989, you go to center of Prague for example and half of inscriptions are in cyrillic, souvenir shops are selling Russian stuff etc...that's terrible, we need similar language laws as Latvia to the future. I noticed even many youtube channels for tourists about Prague are pretending they are native but I can hear they are native Russian speakers so they even presenting Russian accent as Czech thing. Russians in supermarkets are trying to negotiate about prices like somewhere at market in Egypt. I am really sad because of that, it's like some kind of invasion. But I guess some of them are actually Ukrainians, it's hard to distinguish this 2 languages for Czech speaker, I am always trying to find H sound because Russians can't pronounce that so H sound can spot Ukrainian language and I think in most of such weird situations that people are really Russian, not Ukrainian.

@@robertschlesinger1342 Well, yu are welcome. I do not say i myself am expert on this recard but as my own language is what it is, atleast that i know. However, i have looked at geography and peoples also. I happen to actually know what Tuva (Тыва in tuvan) is. It does still exist as a republic state (federal sibject) in Russija, there are several smaller nations in Russia. I have never visited that place tho.

Samogitian language also survived North Samogitian is also different because the curonians were assymilated in that regio , while people in Sudovian region have very weird accent

The Russian chronicles first mention Eastern Galindians as Goliadj in 1058. Prince Yury Dolgorukiy arranged a campaign against them in 1147, the year of the first mention of Moscow in the Russian chronicles. Subsequent chronicles do not mention the Eastern Galindians. Nevertheless, the Russians probably did not completely assimilate them until the 15th (or 16th) century.

Lithuanian seems perhaps closest to Sanskrit as both retained a lot of old features of the ancient proto Indo-European.

Estonians called themselves "maarahvas" until relatively recently. At the time of Tacitus they together with Baltic peoples had various tribal identities. Linguistic evidences point out to Aesti being Baltic peoples, for example, Lithuanian has preserved various place names with that root, including name of entire peninsula in East Prussia, which seems to be the area Tacitus mentions. Modern Eesti word comes from Germanic name of the area, initially it was associated only with "Estland proper", that is North Estonia. Word itself might come either from Germanic word for East or from Aesti. One clear evidence is that neighbouring Finns, Latvians and also Russians (historically) have different ethnonyms, (viro, igauņi, chud) for Estonians, in first 2 cases based on the closest areas to their lands (Virumaa and Ugandi) .

The name was of vague usage, but was mostly used for Balts. However, the name later drifted to Estonians.

A great video but you forgot one crucial detail. The introduction eastern Finno-Ugrians into the Baltic lands, don't forget that Baltics and Finno-Ugrians share a common Y-Haplogroup as well as linguistic similarities (loanwords).

I made genetic researches about my family's DNA and genealogy a few years ago. =) aaah =O ouuuh =D wow !!! *visible happyness* So, friends from the Baltic, greetings from a distant-yet-a--little-bit-close friend from France ! =)

1) Is Latgalian language more similar to Latvian or Lithuanian? 1-1) Latgalians without any doubt had participated in genesis of Latvian people, but the core of Latvians were Curonians and Simigalians with mix of Finno-Ugric tribes (Livonians, Estonians). 1-2) I've heard Latgalian is more close to Latvian in grammar and it has more common words with Lithuanian in vocabulary. 1-3) Lithuanian and Latgalian are pure Baltic languages, Latvian is Baltic language with strong Finno-Ugric influence (accent on the first syllable is typical for Finno-Ugric languages, Prefix "Jā..." (Jādara, jāveic) for need purposes instead of separate word, Ending "ā" in Locative case (mājā, skolā) instead of preposition "in, at" (in school, at home), a lot of words are obviously Finno-Ugric originals). 1-4) The ancestor of Latvian is West-Baltic, the ancestor of Latgalian and Lithuanian is East-Baltic. 1-5) The name of Lithuania (>1000 years) and Latigola (>800 years) is much older that the name of Latvia (>200 years). 2) Is Latgalian just dialect or language? Is it totally understandable to Latvians/Lithuanians? Are Latgalians just sub-ethnic group or separate nation with extra-strong relative roots with LV/LT? 3) Will Latgalians be assimilated by Latvians in couple of generations? In the beginning of 20th century were 400.000 Latgalians, now less 150.000 Thank You for Your answers! Ačiū! Paldies! Paļdis! )))

1) Its more symilar to latviešu language. 1-1) No. Latgaļi make up the largest ammount of latviešu blood, then comes zemgaļi, then kurši, then sēļi, then lībieši, then saxons. 1-2) The only grammar I have ever studdied is that of the literary language so cant say. 1-3) No no no, no. Firstly there is no such things a pure language they all have influence for each other. Lībiešu influence latviešu language is minimal, this can be best seen comparing latviešu language to the lībiešu dialect of latviešu language that does have heavy lībiešu influence. Latgaliešu dialect has russian influence. Lietuviešu language has polish influence. And conjugating words to give meaning is not only a finik thing is an indo europian thing that the germanic language have lost thus they resort to "in, at". 1-4) All surviving baltic languages are what I call middle baltic what in this video is called east baltik. Prūši spoke a west baltik language. 1-5) The word Latvija comes from the word Latgale. 2) Latgaliešu is a dialect. Its completely understandable to us latviešiem. There are no sub ethnic groups Latvijā, there are outright foreigners tho mainly in the form of 500 000 slavs. 3) Id actually say all dialects will largely be repalced by the literary language in the next 100 years. Differences will still remain but they will be tiny by comparison to those of 200 years ago.

As an ethnic latgalian i can tell that Latgalian language is still widely spoken in the eastern Latvian region of Latgalia(Latgale/Latgola). The Latgalian language right now has an official status of being a version of Latvian, and some dismiss it as just a non-important archaic dialect. Still, a dialect it is not, because Latgalian istelf consists of many slightly distinct regional/local Latgalian dialects. And forgotten fact is that Latgalian has its own, established literary grammar and was used as the main official language in everything(from shop signs and literature to accounting and lawmaking etc.etc.) in the region of Latgale during early 1900's.

It mixed with the other north middle baltik langauges forming latviešu language, then Russija conquered Poļu Vidzemi and over the centuries tried to russify its people resulting in the people who live there now speaking latgaliešu langauge, which is half russified latviešu langauge.

Yeah, If there was no Russification Or Germanization from the start, then Lithuanians And Latvians Could Even Understand More than 60% Of what they are saying

It was already many years ago that philologists determined the term "Balto-Slavic" is obsolete and incorrect. And yet, people make videos, stories etc with this incorrect term.

Reminds me of the celtic language family

I love Baltic languages and it's horrible to see the population decline in Lithuania and Latvia (highest in EU) due to emigration but also high suicide rates. Both countries also taken Euro currency which worsened their economies and made everything 4 times more expensive with no rise in salaries! That's why Balts emigrate, I know Lithuanians that had to do this because they couldn't live in their own country because of this fcking Euro 👎 I also cringe when my fellow Poles living in Lithuania vote for this shady party "Polish Electoral Action in Lithuania" and push to make bilingual names for the streets, Polish thought in schools, etc. Of course we don't demand such things in Germany or even Ukraine, even though more Poles live there and Poles also have historic presence in those countries (in Germany also historic Slavic Serbołużyczanie which are almost germanized at this point, few more generations and there will be none). We only bully visibly weaker nations like Lithuania and not rise the same demands towards Germany and Ukraine. I find this situation disgusting, sorry for my rant 😟 Let's stay positive - Lithuania and Latvia had been through much worse times in history and they survived so I think they will survive present times as well.
