This forum is intended for residents of Latvia only.
There are "local scene" regional forums for the provincial regions of Latvia known as "Canada", "Europe", "USA", and "Australia", and the subdivisions thereof, but they are all fairly redundant as there is not great population spread or an unmanageable amount of travel distance between varying ends of Latvia. Also, the official language of Latvia is "Latvian", thus no logical language barrier is required and does not need to be catered to by the division into subforums.
English is accepted where required, but no guarantees are made to the accurate nature or entertainment value of statements which are made outside of the Latvian language.
The Latvians are Baltic people culturally related to the Estonians and Lithuanians, with the Latvian language having many similarities with Lithuanian, but not with the Estonian language (a Finno-Ugric language). Today the Latvian and Lithuanian languages are the only surviving members of the Baltic languages of the Indo-European family. The modern name of Latvia is thought to originate from the ancient Latvian name Latvji, which, like the name of Lithuania, may have originated from the river named Latuva.
If you are culturally unrelated to the wonderful country of Latvia, or are disinterested in trance events occurring within a Latvian city (such as LEMF coming up this weekend), we recommend that you visit trance.nu.
Sincerely,
Latvia
Dievs, svētī Latviju!
