**List: Livonian Ministry the Bible ( the Bible ) Livonian: Eastern... "Livonian is now spoken by only about 1,500 inhabitants of some twelve Baltic coastal communities in northern Courland, which comprises the southwestern region of the Latvian Republic of the Soviet Union.   Formerly known as Livonia, or Livland, the area takes its name from the Livs, a Finnic people who were settled there in the 13th century when Courland was forcibly evangelized by the Livonian Knights.   The Knights were a Teu- tonic Order, originally called the Brothers of the Sword, who later settled among the Livs and assumed the name Livonian. Despite their diminished population, the Livonians still maintain an active literature.   Livonian is a West Finnic language, related to Estonian and Finnish.   The Eastern dialect, originally that spoken in the Kolken area, is now the basis of the standard Livonian usage."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only] "1863 Matthew Printed privately, London 1880 Matthew (Gothic character)   BFBS, St. Petersburg Translated by N.
