Mattia Mele, this is not completely true, unfortunately... The last fluent speaker, whose first native tongue was Livonian, has left this world two years ago... There are people of Livonian origin, who came to know some (or fearly good) Livonian, but their native language is Latvian, anyway. So, to be sincere, Livonian is indeed an extinct language...
Mattia Mele livonian is an artificial language already without any function, apart from cultural heritage. The border between Latvians ald Livs is already so extensively blurred that it really questionable whether it is actually still there.
Livonian as its ring and sound once was is long extinct due Latvians trying to make Livonian more compatible to Latvian native speaker. Too much šh and too soft L and the whole writing is totally off. What I mean, as a Läänemeresoomlane, one thing is to hear a language's ring/sound and another thing is to write it down and then read it again out loud. The result is always changing in time till its not recognizable anymore. Estonians, living by the Läänemeri and on its islands could rewrite Liivi keel into it's almost correct ring again because they have the similar accent and form of speak. Nevertheless I appreciate the efforts of the people to still use Liivi keel in songs, writing and speaking.
Awesome! Greetings from Hungary.
Laba dziesma
I think it's better to say Livonian is endangered, not already extinct.

Alo you just don't know what are you talking about!
❤❤❤
Most beautiful traditional chanting. Is it sung in Livonian ?
Yes, it is.
Thank you for confirming!
Jo Alex Sg It is, but it isn't 'traditional chanting'; this is a poem by early 20th century Livonian poet Kōrli Stalte.
Latvija labākā es Lībiets
Livonija ir Latviešu zeme 😀😀
Kõlab nagu lättikeel!)
aga tegelikult on see keel eesti keelele lähedasem, kui läti keelele :)
Текст, наверное, так же хорош, как и музыка.
в основном там поётся про красоту серебра и богатства на пляже как я понял.
@@PigTechnocracy спасибо!
Sounds like Karelian/Ingrian
They are the same Finno-Ugrian language
Rikas rand.
