i love how you can still hear that it's finno-ugric, even though a lot of the consonants have been influenced by latvian

- @@polishhussarmapping258 It's not that simple in their case. Although the Soviets destroyed what was left, the language was doomed already. After the reformation, the ruling Baltic German landlords decided, that only Latvian and Estonian are getting the status of the church language, the use of Livonian, as well as the Baltic Curonian (Kurši) language was banned. Johann Renner, Lievländische Historien, 1556-1561: "Curonia, as reported, had its own language, different from the Latvian and Estonian, which is extirpated and prohibited, so that nobody has the right to talk it, and instead has to speak Latvian." As a result, Curonian as a similar language was completely replaced with Latvian, and the Curonian Livonian survived only in a handful of coastal villages. About the final decline of the Livonian language in the Livonian province, where the beginning of the decline is less clear, but the final blow was also given by the Church, a full article is available (The relationship between the Enlightenment and the survival of the Livonian language in Salaca Parish ). The role of the Church is not exceptional, it has played the mayor role in the decline of the Hungarian-speaking Csangos in Romania as well. In WWI, Germany occupied Curonia quickly, but Russia managed to evacuate the civilians. They were able to return only after 3-4 years. Not all of them returned, and the villages got new, Latvian inhabitants as well. After WWI, teaching Livonian to children as L1 became exceptional. Note that Grizelda Kristiņa, who became the last native Livonian speaker, was born in 1910.

I love this more in depth presentation of the language. Livonian truly deserves it. May it be spoken for ages to come.

"For some reason, many people always separate Livonians from Latvians based on linguistics. However, Livonians are considered also in Latvian laws one of the main tribes that created the modern Latvian nation" As in, Livonian Latvians that speak the dialect that is not to be confused with the Livonian language? Or "nation" as in "country"?

- Linguistically Livonian and Latvian are not related, because they belong to different language families. But with their speakers there are no strict boundaries like that. There have been villages with Livonian speakers on the shore, but I believe there has always been close contacts with people, and nowadays within Livonian revitalization process people speaking Latvian want to preserve Livonian as living language. There is no separation, and I think it is win-win for all who are involved in that process. Every person can define his/her own identity, but my guess is that Livonian speakers define themselves belonging both to Latvian and Livonian tradition.

- What it means is is that Livonian tribes together with Baltic tribes such as Curonians, Semigallians, Selonians and Latgallians together formed the ethnogenesis of the Latvian ethnicity and nation.

- @@UneEtincelleNocturne Livonians also made up a considerable part of the Curonian population in the region of Ventava, divided into multiple "kiligunds" ("kihlakunta" in Finnish and "kihelkond" in Estonian). It was some of the most densely populated land among territories under Curonians. The Curonian "king" reigning over Ventava named Lammekinus, mentioned by Henry of Livonia, has a name that bears striking resemblance to the Baltic Finnic "Lemminkäinen" or "Lemminki" names, which might point to him being a Livonian or at least points to the significant influence Livonians had in the region.

It is like Latvian and Lithuanian right?
@harleylikesddlc163217 күн бұрын
- No, because they are not related at all. Latvian and Lithuanian are Indo-European/Baltic languages and Livonian is Uralic/Finnic language, with closest resemblance to Estonian. Livonian is also closely related to other Finnic languages like Finnish, Votic, Karelian and Vepsian and more distantly related to every Uralic language, for example Hungarian.
