Livonian language

Livonian (Līvõ kēļ) belongs to the Finnic branch of the Finno-Ugric languages. It is now spoken by only about 35 people, 10 of them fluently. It is related to Finnish, spoken on the other side of the Gulf of Finland, and Estonian. The native land of Livonians is Latvia, north of Kurzeme peninsula. It is one of the most endangered languages in the world.

Language example

MUSTÂ PLAGÂ VALSÕ

Kubbõ ât tuï immõr satunnõd mingizt.
Mustâ lupât um vírd tutkâm jûs.
Nálgalizt nîelõb min míistõmõt rõkûd
Sigùtûï käds ikú dadùâ ja ûgõb.
Mitikú äb tô ku sa kêratõkst págiñ:
Um jõvîst, aù sâina pál kêratõd “A”.
Võid stalaùod arrõ, aù sainõ äb sóita –
Ma vâgiù set kîtõb, ku jõvîst tîed sa
Ja tikkiù ja tegîù um lagtõd sin tômi
Sîest, mis sinnõn tîemõst ja mis sinâ võid.
Aù suggõbõd suodâd ja revolûtsijõd,
Siz nustâm sîes pâikal. Pádõ ka mêg.
Aù nai ikúkõrd vâldiù ka mäddõn tîeb sillõ.
Îez(õ) palâbõd sîlmad, kus pîegiïtiz irm.
Siz grumâ touvõd mäd’ ândabõd villõ
Ja kõzzist pîkstõbõd pimdõd joud.
Ni îdskubs himnõ mêg lôlam îe pierrõ,
Sîest mêài ta kâitsõb ja sînda ka tôks.
Sîest lôlam mêg: “Julgizt ni, veïîd, tîe jûrõ!”
Täuds sidâms oppõrmîel põrândõks.
Leb Valst âigastsadâ võilõb se kângaz,
Mustâ ku loptõmõt môîlmarûim.
Kuñú îebõd pandõkst, kûoàõd ja kuodâd,
Täddõn nagrõs muidlõb kûolõn pálû.
Lyrics by Tõnu Trubetsky
Translated by Valt Ernštreit
