Are there any reports of something resembling an attempt to reviving Livonian? Things like these happen all over the world, so why not in Livonia/ West Latvia? Caesarion 14:01, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Founf it out now - a little bit. Caesarion 14:13, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
What should these characters in the alphabet stand for: Ȭ/ȭ ; Ȫ/ȫ ? I think computer has not managed to present these correctly, the stripe (meaning prolonged articulation) should be laid on the top of Õ, not besides. As long as we can't print it this way, it should be better to replace Õ- characters (presumably standing for long õ) in the Black Flag (MUSTĀ PLAGĀ VALSÕ) text with simple õ (as in Estonian alphabet).--Constanz - Talk 15:22, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I found some history on the German version of the page and translated it, and added some common phrases I found on the Czech and Esperanto pages. There's a similar and even better rundown of the history on the Dutch version of the page but I don't really know Dutch... maybe someone could take a look at that? I also added a page on Min izāmō, the national anthem of Livonia, borrowed from the German Wikipedia; is there a translation somewhere? Guypersonson 02:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Project Estonia not Latvia?

"Livonian language is part of the WikiProject Estonia, a project to maintain and expand Estonia-related subjects on Wikipedia" They lived in Latvia, Vidzeme and southern Estonia was name after them (Livonia). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.118.205.130 (talk) 08:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
