The Latvian language belongs to the East Baltic subgroup of Baltic languages ​​in the Indo-European language family. Only Latvian and Lithuanian are living Baltic languages. The Baltic languages ​​are of great importance to linguistics because they retain many very old features, which are believed to have existed in the early stages of Proto-Indo-European. Latvian as a separate language appeared in the 16th century. The closest relatives of the Baltic languages ​​are Slavic and Germanic languages. The syntax of the Latvian language developed under German influence. The earlier Latvian alphabet was equivalent to German. Today, the Latvian alphabet consists of 33 letters and is almost entirely phonemic (as a rule, it is read as it is written).
