Livonian Language Revival

Livonian is a Finnic language spoken on the Livonian Coast of the Gulf of Livonia. Nowadays it is considered an extinct language with strong revitalization processes. Although some sources claim that there are no longer any living native speakers of Livonian (since the last native speaker died in 2013), there is a wide range of activities taking place in order to revive Livonian. Currently, there is even one native speaker of Livonian, a two-year old Kuldi Medne who is being brought up in Livonian and Latvian. Nowadays, it is estimated that there are about 40 speakers at B1 and up and around 210 at A1-A2 level.Superscript text
