Thank you for the wonderful video. Seeibg the land of my childhood through the eyes of a curious stranger feels bittersweet and fills the heart with warm melancholy. As a descendant of Livonians I regret not speaking this language. My grandfather didn't pass his language on since in those times it was seen as uncool and was often mocked and seen as rebellion against the soviet regime. Thank you for your sincere video!

Excellent interivew. And just goes to show the journalists who come there (and to other places) in search of sensationalism don't even bother to understand the local historical and cultural context. If the local men of Kihnu were away for entire months as sailors and fishermen, it's no wonder women had to handle many more economic and other local matters on their own and have historically had more of a broad sense of equality. The claims of those journalists are complete bogus and wishful thinking. If I was a Kihnu local, whether a man or a woman, I'd feel rather insulted by these misinterpretations. If anything, journalists should highlight the true tradition of the island: An acknowledgement that a male-supremacist or female-supremacist society helps no one, and the real solution is men and women working together. It's also interesting that due to the historical economic riles, the women of Kihnu are more culturally conservative (in a sense), more focused on preserving local traditional culture.

I’ve been to Mae Sot! I recall mooching around the market right next to the border (near the bridge). Full of people selling Chinese car stereos. Bought some definitely absolutely 100% genuine Prada sunglasses from a nice lady there for 40 baht. One of the lenses fell out a day later 🤷♂️

Spain(ishtan) is trying for the last 3 centuries to do the same with us Catalans, Basques, Galician-Portuguese and Asturian-Leonese that Russian controlled Soviet Union tried to do to Livonians and Baltics in general (and any others not being culturally Russian). Very sad to see a language disappear becayse every language in the world is a unique window where you can see the world in a different way a treasure tgat must be preserved just like animal and plant spices gave to be preserved fir the sake of biodiversity.😢

The Baltic countries where the Livonian and other languages used to be spoken should invest in getting people to learn those languages. There are some countries in Europe where people hardly speak their local language anymore and the governments encourage people, mostly their children, to learn those languages so they don't disappear. Maybe Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania already have those projects in connection to for example the Livonian and Ingrian languages. If they don't they should start them.
