About Latvian
Latvian is the official language of Latvia. Together with Lithuanian it is one of the two living Baltic languages, although the two are not easily understood by each other's speakers.
Latvian is written in the Latin alphabet with extra marks. A line over a vowel, as in ā or ē, makes it long, and a hook under or over a consonant, as in ļ, ņ or ķ, softens it. Stress nearly always falls on the first syllable. Use jūs as a polite "you" with strangers and older people, and tu with friends.
