Latvian (latviešu valoda), sometimes referred to as Lettish, is the
official state language of the Republic of Latvia. There are about
3.5 million native Latvian speakers worldwide
There are three dialects in Latvian: the Livonian dialect, Latgalian
language and the Middle dialect.
A
long tradition in Latvian linguistics divides these dialects into
two major groups: Low Latvian and High Latvian. Low Latvian is made
up of the Central dialect and the Tamian dialect. Another popular
view in the literature recognizes these two main groups but refers
to them slightly differently, namely as West Latvian (also known as
Central Latvian or Tamian) and as East Latvian (also known as High
Latvian or Latgalian).
The West and East Latvian dialect groups are quite similar, but each
has a separate literary tradition. West Latvian forms the basis of
standard Latvian. Although speakers of Latgalian (now called East
Latvian) at one point hoped to establish it as a separate language,
this never took place, and today Latgalian is still considered a
regional dialect of Latvian.
