Estonia’s large Russian-speaking minority used to be taught in Russian. The government has responded to Russia’s invasion with a reform to end this. Now, lessons will only be taught in Estonian.

      In case you for some reason see my previous comment. Ignore it, Estonian is not a Baltic language, lol. I fucked up.

        Estonian is 100% a baltic language, but not a Slavic language. Latvian and Lithuanian are also not Slavic.

          Estonian is actually a Finno-Ugric language. That’s why I removed my comment.

            Finnish and Estonian share a root - and I would call both languages Baltic. Latcian and Lithuanian share and equally ancient and separate root - but are still Baltic.

            Hungarian not Baltic, but Finni-Ugrech.

            You have a point, bit don’t carellessly deny them their Baltic definition.
