• State Language Centre requested the Karsava local council to remove the street signs in Latvian and Latgalian language

The State Language Centre (SLC) requested the Karsava (a town in the Eastern part of Latvia) local council to remove the street signs written in Latvian and Latgalian languages. According to the SLC, the titles in Latvian should have larger font size than titles in Latgalian (at present, the Latgalian titles are larger). The Karsava local council believes that the existing signs show cultural heritage of the Latgalian region; it also disagrees that Latgalian language is compared with a foreign language, as officially Latgalian is recognized as a dialect of Latvian language.
