Hi
I don't want or mean to offend anyone here but to me Latvian looks like a combination of Estonian and Lithuanian - Some words are finnic and others look very Lithuanian
Is this true?

For example, Estonians and Finns understand each other quite a lot, Latvians and Estonians don´t understand eachother at all. Am I right to say that it´s similar to Lithuanian? Lithuanian is another Indo-European Baltic sub-group language, but I guess Latvian and Lithuanian vocabularies vary greatly from each other and are not mutually intelligible.
