Latvian, a language also known as Lettish, is the official language of the Latvian state, and it is spoken by 1.4 million speakers in Latvia and by 150,000 speakers in Latvian communities around the world. However, these are all native speakers alone. Because of the Soviet domination in the region, during the years 1940 to 1991, many minority groups have come to speak Latvian. Thus, an additional 924,000 people also speak Latvian. These speakers are Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, and Polish people. Although a small language, Latvian has often been considered a language of educated people. It attained this status because of its inclusion in academic works like the Cosmographia Universalis by the famous scholar, Sebastian Munster. Consequently, social mobility, especially for minority peoples, is directly tied to their fluency of Latvian--because Latvian is used prominently in bureaucratic and educational speaking and writing.
