| Latvian Language: Important Phrases |
Language Latvian, unlike Estonian, is an Indo-European language. This doesn't mean it's easier to speak, but at least it is in the same ballpark as German, English and most other European languages. Latvian is related to Lithuanian, and people from the two nations can roughly understand each other. The stress is almost always on the first syllable.
