Hija l-lingwa uffiċjali tar-Repubblika tal-Latvja u waħda mill-lingwi uffiċjali tal-Unjoni Ewropea. Flimkien mal-Litwan, il-Latvjan huwa wieħed miż-żewġ lingwi Baltiċi ħajjin; il-Prussjan Antik, lingwa Baltika oħra importanti storikament, huwa estint.<ref name="R1" /><ref name="R2" /><ref name="R7" /><ref name="R9" /><ref name="R10" /> Il-lingwa standard moderna tintuża fl-amministrazzjoni pubblika, fl-edukazzjoni, fil-midja, fil-letteratura u fil-komunikazzjoni ta' kuljum fil-Latvja. Tinkiteb b'alfabet ibbażat fuq l-alfabet Latin, adattat għall-ħsejjes tal-Latvjan, inklużi ittri b'marki dijakritiċi bħal ā, č, ē, ģ, ķ, ļ, ņ, š, ū u ž.<ref name="R1" /><ref name="R8" /> == Klassifikazzjoni u rabta ma’ lingwi Baltiċi oħra == Il-Latvjan jagħmel parti mill-grupp Baltiku tal-familja Indo-Ewropea. Fl-istess grupp hemm ukoll il-Litwan u l-Prussjan Antik, li huwa estint. Il-lingwi Baltiċi huma fergħa żgħira iżda storikament importanti tal-lingwi Indo-Ewropej, u l-Latvjan żviluppa forma standard, sistema ta' ħsejjes u struttura grammatikali tiegħu.<ref name="R1" /> Il-Latvjan u l-Litwan huma lingwi moderni relatati, iżda mhumiex l-istess lingwa. Ir-relazzjoni bejniethom hija importanti għall-istudji Baltiċi, iżda l-Latvjan modern żviluppa f'ambjent soċjali u storiku differenti, b'influwenzi minn djaletti Baltiċi lokali, amministrazzjoni u kultura bil-Ġermaniż, ir-Russu, u kuntatt ma' lingwi Finniċi bħall-Livonjan u l-Estonjan.<ref name="R1" /><ref name="R13" /> == Kelliema u firxa ġeografika == [[File:Julius Döring, Tafel I, Karte des lettischen Sprachgebiets ca1860.jpg|thumb|Mappa storika taż-żona fejn kien jitkellem il-Latvjan madwar l-1860, ippubblikata minn Julius Döring]] Skont l-Enċiklopedija Nazzjonali tal-Latvja, id-data tal-2011 tindika madwar 1.55 miljun kelliem nattiv tal-Latvjan fid-dinja, fosthom madwar 1.16 miljun fil-Latvja, u madwar nofs miljun kelliem tat-tieni lingwa fil-Latvja. Il-Latvjan jintuża wkoll minn komunitajiet Latvjani barra l-pajjiż, fosthom fir-Renju Unit, fl-Istati Uniti, fl-Irlanda, fl-Iżvezja, fin-Norveġja, fil-Litwanja, fir-Russja u f'postijiet oħra.<ref name="R2" /> Statistika uffiċjali reċenti tal-Latvja turi wkoll ir-rwol ċentrali tal-lingwa fil-pajjiż. F'komunikat tal-2023 tal-Uffiċċju Ċentrali tal-Istatistika, il-Latvjan ġie rrappurtat bħala lingwa materna ta' 64.3% tal-abitanti, filwaqt li r-Russu ġie rrappurtat minn 37.7%; l-Ukren u l-Latgaljan kienu fost il-lingwi materni l-oħra rrappurtati b'ishma iżgħar. Fir-reġjun ta' Latgale, il-Latgaljan ġie rrappurtat bħala lingwa materna ta' 8.4% tal-popolazzjoni tar-reġjun.<ref name="R5" /> Għal persuni li l-lingwa materna tagħhom mhijiex il-Latvjan, il-Latvjan huwa wkoll ħila importanti bħala t-tieni lingwa jew bħala lingwa addizzjonali. L-Uffiċċju Ċentrali tal-Istatistika rrappporta, mill-Istħarriġ dwar l-Edukazzjoni tal-Adulti tal-2022, li 89.3% tal-popolazzjoni tal-Latvja bejn 25 u 64 sena kienu jitkellmu jew jifhmu l-Latvjan apparti l-lingwa materna tagħhom, anki jekk ftit biss.<ref name="R6" /> == Status legali fil-Latvja == L-Artikolu 4 tal-Kostituzzjoni tal-Latvja jgħid li l-lingwa Latvjana hija l-lingwa uffiċjali fir-Repubblika tal-Latvja. Il-Liġi dwar il-Lingwa Uffiċjali tirrepeti dan l-istatus u tirregola l-użu u l-protezzjoni tal-lingwa uffiċjali fl-istituzzjonijiet tal-istat u tal-gvern lokali, fil-qrati, fil-qasam tal-edukazzjoni u f'oqsma oħra fejn hemm interess pubbliku.<ref name="R7" /><ref name="R8" /> Il-Liġi dwar il-Lingwa Uffiċjali tagħti wkoll rikonoxximent speċjali lil diversi kwistjonijiet lingwistiċi relatati. Tipprovdi għall-iżvilupp u l-użu tal-lingwa tas-sinjali Latvjana għall-komunikazzjoni ma' persuni b'diffikultajiet fis-smigħ; titlob iż-żamma, il-protezzjoni u l-iżvilupp tal-lingwa miktuba Latgaljana bħala varjant storiku tal-Latvjan; u titlob il-protezzjoni u l-iżvilupp tal-lingwa Liv bħala l-lingwa tal-popolazzjoni indiġena Liv tal-Latvja.<ref name="R8" /> == Status fl-Unjoni Ewropea == Il-Latvjan sar lingwa uffiċjali tal-Unjoni Ewropea meta l-Latvja daħlet fl-UE fl-2004. Il-lingwi uffiċjali tal-UE jinkludu l-Latvjan, u ċ-ċittadini tal-UE għandhom id-dritt jikkomunikaw mal-istituzzjonijiet tal-UE bi kwalunkwe waħda mil-lingwi uffiċjali tal-UE. L-atti legali u s-sommarji tal-UE jkunu wkoll disponibbli bil-lingwi uffiċjali.<ref name="R9" /><ref name="R10" /> Għall-qarrejja bil-Malti, il-paġni uffiċjali tal-UE bil-Malti jużaw il-forma il-Latvjan għall-Latvjan bħala lingwa uffiċjali tal-UE. Il-paġna tal-UE bil-Malti dwar il-Latvja telenka wkoll il-lingwa uffiċjali tal-UE tal-Latvja bħala il-Latvjan. Dawn is-sorsi huma utli għat-terminoloġija Maltija fl-artiklu futur.<ref name="R10" /><ref name="R11" /> == Użu pubbliku, edukazzjoni u politika lingwistika == Il-politika dwar il-lingwa Latvjana mhijiex limitata għall-istatus legali. L-Aġenzija tal-Lingwa Latvjana tiddeskrivi l-għan tal-politika tal-lingwa tal-istat bħala li tiżgura s-sostenibbiltà, il-kwalità lingwistika u l-kompetittività tal-Latvjan bħala l-lingwa tal-istat tal-Latvja u bħala lingwa uffiċjali tal-UE. Id-direzzjonijiet tal-politika jinkludu l-istatus legali, l-edukazzjoni, ir-riċerka xjentifika u l-iżvilupp tal-lingwa, it-terminoloġija, it-teknoloġija tal-lingwa u l-parteċipazzjoni pubblika.<ref name="R12" /> L-istudju soċjolingwistiku Language Situation in Latvia 2016–2020 jiddeskrivi s-sitwazzjoni lingwistika bħala suġġett li jiġi osservat maż-żmien, b'data dwar il-ħiliet lingwistiċi, l-użu tal-lingwa u l-attitudnijiet. Din ir-riċerka hija importanti għax il-Latvjan jaħdem mhux biss bħala lingwa privata tal-familji u tal-komunitajiet, iżda wkoll bħala l-lingwa komuni tal-amministrazzjoni pubblika, l-edukazzjoni, l-impjiegi u l-ħajja kulturali nazzjonali.<ref name="R13" /> == Il-Latvjan barra l-pajjiż u bħala lingwa barranija == Il-Latvjan jinżamm ukoll barra l-Latvja permezz tal-edukazzjoni fid-diaspora u t-tagħlim universitarju. L-Aġenzija tal-Lingwa Latvjana tgħid li l-appoġġ għall-Latvjan barra l-pajjiż jingħata f'żewġ oqsma: appoġġ għall-akkwist tal-Latvjan bħala lingwa barranija f'universitajiet barra l-pajjiż, u appoġġ għall-Latvjan fid-diaspora. Tgħid ukoll li l-Latvjan jista' jiġi studjat f'22 università barra l-pajjiż.<ref name="R14" /> Id-diaspora u t-tagħlim tal-Latvjan bħala lingwa barranija huma importanti għall-preżenza fit-tul tal-Latvjan barra t-territorju tal-istat. Materjali ta' tagħlim, dizzjunarji, riżorsi metodoloġiċi, seminars u appoġġ għall-iskejjel tad-diaspora jgħinu jżommu rabtiet bejn komunitajiet Latvjani barra l-pajjiż u l-lingwa li tintuża fil-Latvja.<ref name="R14" /> == Djaletti == [[Image:Latvaldialekti.svg|thumb|Firxa tad-djaletti tal-Latvjan fit-territorju tal-Latvja]] Il-Latvjan modern tradizzjonalment jinqasam fi tliet djaletti territorjali: id-djalett ċentrali, id-djalett Livonjan jew Tamian, u d-djalett Għoli Latvjan. Dawn id-djaletti jżommu karatteristiċi reġjonali marbuta mal-iżvilupp storiku taż-żoni fejn jitkellem il-Latvjan.<ref name="R3" /> Id-djalett ċentrali għandu importanza speċjali għax il-Latvjan letterarju standard żviluppa fuq il-bażi tiegħu. L-Enċiklopedija Nazzjonali tispjega li d-djalett ċentrali jinsab, kemm ġeografikament kif ukoll lingwistikament, bejn id-djalett Għoli Latvjan u d-djalett Livonjan, u li d-differenzi bejnu u l-lingwa letterarja huma iżgħar milli fid-djaletti l-oħra.<ref name="R4" /> Id-djalett Livonjan jew Tamian tal-Latvjan m'għandux jitħallat mal-lingwa Liv. L-ewwel wieħed huwa djalett tal-Latvjan; it-tieni waħda hija lingwa Finnika li storikament kienet mitkellma mil-Liv u li hija protetta separatament mil-Liġi dwar il-Lingwa Uffiċjali.<ref name="R3" /><ref name="R8" /> == Il-Latgaljan u l-Livonjan fl-ambjent lingwistiku == Il-Latgaljan huwa marbut mill-qrib mal-Latvjan u maż-żona tad-djalett Għoli Latvjan, iżda għandu wkoll tradizzjoni miktuba u identità reġjonali tiegħu. Fil-liġi Latvjana, il-lingwa miktuba Latgaljana hija protetta bħala varjant storiku tal-Latvjan. L-istatistika uffiċjali tirreġistra wkoll il-Latgaljan separatament fir-riżultati dwar il-lingwa materna, b'mod speċjali f'Latgale.<ref name="R5" /><ref name="R8" /><ref name="R13" /> Il-Livonjan għandu pożizzjoni differenti. Mhuwiex lingwa Baltika iżda lingwa Finnika, storikament marbuta mal-poplu Liv. Il-Liġi dwar il-Lingwa Uffiċjali titlob li l-istat iżomm, jipproteġi u jiżviluppa l-lingwa Liv bħala l-lingwa tal-popolazzjoni indiġena. Dan jagħmel il-Livonjan parti importanti mill-wirt lingwistiku usa' tal-Latvja, minkejja li mhuwiex varjetà tal-Latvjan.<ref name="R8" /><ref name="R13" /> == Sistema tal-kitba u pronunzja == [[File:WIKITONGUES- Jānis speaking Latvian.webm|thumb|Filmat tal-proġett ''Wikitongues'' b'kelliem jitkellem bil-Latvjan (2018)]] Il-Latvjan modern jinkiteb bl-alfabet Latin b'marki dijakritiċi addizzjonali. Fl-ortografija standard, il-makroni juru t-tul tal-vokali, filwaqt li marki oħra jintużaw għal konsonanti palatalizzati u għal sibilanti. L-ortografija attwali hija bbażata fuq prinċipji adottati fl-1908 mill-Kummissjoni tal-Ortografija tal-Kummissjoni tal-Għarfien tas-Soċjetà Latvjana ta' Riga.<ref name="R1" /> Karatteristika prattika tal-pronunzja Latvjana hija l-importanza tat-tul tal-vokali. Id-differenza bejn vokali qosra u twal tista' tbiddel it-tifsira, u s-sistema tal-kitba normalment tindika l-vokali twal b'makroni. Għalhekk l-ortografija Latvjana hija aktar fonemika mill-ortografiji antiki tal-Latvjan ibbażati fuq il-Ġermaniż, għalkemm il-pronunzja u l-varjazzjoni djalettali jibqgħu importanti.<ref name="R1" /><ref name="R3" /> == Ħarsa ġenerali lejn il-grammatika == Il-grammatika tal-Latvjan hija inflettiva ħafna. In-nomi tradizzjonalment jinqasmu f'sitt deklinazzjonijiet, u l-forom tan-nomi jinbidlu skont il-każ grammatikali, in-numru u l-ġeneru. Id-deklinazzjonijiet 1–3 l-aktar jinkludu nomi maskili, filwaqt li d-deklinazzjonijiet 4–6 l-aktar jinkludu nomi femminili, għalkemm hemm eċċezzjonijiet.<ref name="R1" /> L-aġġettivi Latvjani wkoll jiġu deklinati u jistgħu jesprimu d-definitezza permezz ta' truf aġġettivali. Il-verbi għandhom forom ta' żmien, mod u persuna, u l-lingwa għandha kostruzzjoni debittiva li tintuża għall-ħtieġa jew l-obbligu. Minħabba li r-relazzjonijiet grammatikali spiss jintwerew bit-truf tal-kliem, l-ordni tal-kliem fil-Latvjan hija relattivament ħielsa, għalkemm xorta għandha mudelli newtrali komuni u hija influwenzata mill-istruttura tal-informazzjoni u mill-istil.<ref name="R1" /> == Vokabolarju u terminoloġija == Il-vokabolarju Latvjan jirrifletti kemm materjal Baltiku li ntiret storikament kif ukoll kuntatt twil ma' lingwi oħra. Kuntatt antik mal-Ġermaniż u kuntatt aktar tard mar-Russu u ma' lingwi oħra ħallew kliem misluf f'oqsma differenti tal-ħajja. Fl-istess ħin, il-Latvjan għandu tradizzjoni żviluppata ta' ħolqien u standardizzazzjoni tat-terminoloġija, inkluż fix-xjenza, fil-liġi, fl-amministrazzjoni pubblika u fit-teknoloġija moderna.<ref name="R1" /><ref name="R12" /> Il-Liġi dwar il-Lingwa Uffiċjali tagħti rwol formali lix-xogħol tat-terminoloġija: terminoloġija unifikata għandha tintuża fil-letteratura edukattiva speċjalizzata u fid-dokumentazzjoni teknika, u l-iżvilupp u l-użu tat-termini huma marbuta mal-Kummissjoni tat-Terminoloġija tal-Akkademja tax-Xjenzi tal-Latvja. Din hija waħda mir-raġunijiet għaliex il-politika lingwistika, it-terminoloġija u t-traduzzjoni huma marbuta mill-qrib fil-Latvja.<ref name="R8" /><ref name="R12" /> == Storja tal-Latvjan miktub == [[Image:Old latvian bible.jpg|thumb|Bibbja bil-Latvjan miktuba fl-ortografija l-qadima]] L-istorja miktuba tal-Latvjan hija marbuta mill-qrib mar-reliġjon, l-edukazzjoni u l-istampar f'Livonia u aktar tard fil-Latvja. Il-proġett tal-Librerija Nazzjonali tal-Latvja 500 Sena ta' Kotba Latvjani jinnota li xhieda ta' testi, noti u traduzzjonijiet bil-Latvjan jeżistu mill-bidu tas-seklu 16, inkluża t-Talba tal-Missierna miktuba bil-Latvjan fil-marġini ta' manwal u innijiet mogħtija bil-Latvjan f'Riga.<ref name="R15" /> L-eqdem test stampat bil-Latvjan li hu magħruf li baqa' jeżisti sal-lum huwa t-traduzzjoni Latvjana tal-1585 tal-Katekiżmu Kattoliku tal-Ġiżwita Petrus Canisius, stampata f'Vilnius. Fis-sekli ta' wara, il-kitba bil-Latvjan espandiet minn testi reliġjużi għal dizzjunarji, grammatiċi, xogħlijiet letterarji, kitba xjentifika popolari u testi prattiċi.<ref name="R1" /><ref name="R15" /> L-iżvilupp tal-lingwa letterarja sar importanti b'mod speċjali fis-seklu 19, meta dehru aktar testi minn awturi etniċi Latvjani u żdiedet l-attenzjoni għall-kultivazzjoni, l-istandardizzazzjoni u l-ortografija tal-Latvjan. Dan il-proċess għen iħejji l-lingwa għal użu usa' pubbliku, edukattiv u kulturali.<ref name="R1" /> == Ir-rwol tal-lum == Illum il-Latvjan huwa lingwa tal-istat, lingwa tal-kultura u tal-letteratura nazzjonali, lingwa tal-istituzzjonijiet pubbliċi u lingwa tal-UE. Huwa wkoll lingwa ta' komunitajiet lokali u globali: jitkellem fil-Latvja, jinżamm f'komunitajiet tad-diaspora u jiġi mgħallem barra l-pajjiż bħala lingwa barranija.<ref name="R2" /><ref name="R9" /><ref name="R12" /><ref name="R14" /> Il-lingwa għandha sistema b'saħħitha ta' appoġġ istituzzjonali, inklużi liġi dwar il-lingwa uffiċjali, politika lingwistika, riċerka xjentifika, tagħlim tal-lingwa, xogħol tat-terminoloġija u riżorsi għall-istudenti. Fl-istess ħin, il-Latvjan jeżisti f'ambjent soċjali multilingwi fejn ir-Russu, l-Ingliż, il-Latgaljan, lingwi minoritarji u lingwi tad-diaspora għandhom ukoll rwoli.<ref name="R5" /><ref name="R6" /><ref name="R8" /><ref name="R12" /><ref name="R13" /> Għal artiklu fil-Wikipedija Maltija, l-enfasi newtrali l-aktar utli għalhekk mhijiex biss li l-Latvjan huwa l-lingwa uffiċjali tal-Latvja, iżda wkoll li huwa lingwa Baltika ħajja bi storja, djaletti, status legali, sistema tal-kitba, grammatika u rwol pubbliku modern tiegħu.<ref name="R1" /><ref name="R2" /><ref name="R3" /><ref name="R8" /><ref name="R12" /> == Referenzi == <references> <ref name="R1">{{ċita ktieb |kunjom=Kalnača |isem=Andra |kunjom2=Lokmane |isem2=Ilze |titlu=Latvian Grammar |url=https://www.apgads.lu.lv/fileadmin/user_upload/lu_portal/apgads/izdevumi/2021/Latvian_Grammar-2021.pdf |post=Riga |pubblikatur=University of Latvia Press |data=2021 |lingwa=en |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R2">{{ċita web |kunjom=Vanags |isem=Pēteris |titlu=Latviešu valoda |url=https://enciklopedija.lv/skirklis/9891-latvie%C5%A1u-valoda |sit=Nacionālā enciklopēdija |lingwa=lv |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R3">{{ċita web |kunjom=Stafecka |isem=Anna |titlu=Latviešu valodas dialekti |url=https://enciklopedija.lv/skirklis/145322-latvie%C5%A1u-valodas-dialekti |sit=Nacionālā enciklopēdija |lingwa=lv |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R4">{{ċita web |kunjom=Stafecka |isem=Anna |titlu=Latviešu valodas vidus dialekts |url=https://enciklopedija.lv/skirklis/152784-latvie%C5%A1u-valodas-vidus-dialekts |sit=Nacionālā enciklopēdija |lingwa=lv |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R5">{{ċita web |titlu=Latvian is mother tongue of 64% of the population |url=https://stat.gov.lv/en/statistics-themes/education/level-education/press-releases/21052-mother-tongue-and-language-used |sit=Official Statistics Portal |pubblikatur=Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia |data=23 Ottubru 2023 |lingwa=en |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R6">{{ċita web |titlu=Latvian as foreign language known by 89% of inhabitants |url=https://stat.gov.lv/en/statistics-themes/education/level-education/press-releases/15068-results-adult-education-survey?themeCode=II |sit=Official Statistics Portal |pubblikatur=Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia |data=23 Ottubru 2023 |lingwa=en |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R7">{{ċita web |titlu=The Constitution of the Republic of Latvia |url=https://likumi.lv/wwwraksti/LIKUMI/SATVERSME/ANGLU.PDF |sit=Likumi.lv |tip=Official English translation |lingwa=en |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R8">{{ċita web |titlu=Official Language Law |url=https://likumi.lv/ta/en/en/id/14740-official-language-law |sit=Likumi.lv |tip=Official English translation |lingwa=en |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R9">{{ċita web |titlu=Languages, multilingualism, language rules |url=https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/languages_en |sit=European Union |lingwa=en |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R10">{{ċita web |titlu=Lingwi, multilingwiżmu, regoli dwar il-lingwi |url=https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/languages_mt |sit=European Union |lingwa=mt |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R11">{{ċita web |titlu=Il-Latvja – pajjiż tal-UE |url=https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/eu-countries/latvia_mt |sit=European Union |lingwa=mt |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R12">{{ċita web |titlu=State Language Policy |url=https://valoda.lv/en/state-language/state-language-policy/ |sit=Latvian Language Agency |lingwa=en |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R13">{{ċita ktieb |titlu=Language Situation in Latvia 2016–2020: A Sociolinguistic Study |url=https://valoda.lv/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Language_situation_in_Latvia_2016_2020.pdf |post=Riga |pubblikatur=Latvian Language Agency |data=2021 |lingwa=en |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R14">{{ċita web |titlu=Latvian abroad |url=https://valoda.lv/en/latvian-abroad/ |sit=Latvian Language Agency |lingwa=en |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> <ref name="R15">{{ċita web |titlu=500th anniversary |url=https://www.gramatai500.lv/en/par500 |sit=500 Years of Latvian Books |pubblikatur=National Library of Latvia |lingwa=en |data-aċċess=4 Lulju 2026}}</ref> </references> lr4moa87gguc83sz6o6dhoadt1zrpl5
