Latvian is a native language for 1.5 million, chiefly, residents of the country speaking Latvian as a state language. It is in mandatory use across all governmental institutions, with all documents and correspondence issued in the language both in the public and private sectors.
Latvian belongs to the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family. The other living language of the group is Lithuanian only. The first publications in Latvian were the Lord’s Prayer and translations of the Bible excerpts published in around 1530. The first Latvian dictionary was compiled in around 1640.
Latvian has three dialects: Middle (in central Latvia, giving basis to standard Latvian); Livonian (north of Kurzeme and north-west of Vidzeme populated by Livonians); Upper-Latvian or Latgalian (east of Latvia). Therefore, it is important to be good at dialects while translating from Latvian. The ATCG Agency will give you a quality translation both from Latvian and Latgalian deemed by many linguists to be an individual language.
In Latvian, emphasis is always made on the first syllable but long vowels as a phonetic phenomenon may create an impression of double emphasis or emphasis falling on a different syllable. This is what Latvian has in common with Finnish. The unusual palatalized consonants K and T may also challenge those who know little of Latvian as they try to get grasp of oral speech. As you make arrangements for a meeting with Latvian partners, the ATCG experts be always there to help you. They speak Latvian as well as native speakers and will be a brilliant assistance to any calibre of negotiations.
Since Latvian is spoken by few in the world, translations of a letter, document, or website contents from/into Latvian can be quite demanding. On-line translation engines may not handle all shades of the language, that is why before you put your hands on a Latvian text get in touch with the Tallinn-based ATCG Agency. Our experts will make sure your documents are done accurately and within the toughest deadlines.
