How to recognise Latvia from the road
Drives on the right
Forest, lakes and long straight roads. Latvian has its own set of marks above and below the letters.
What to look for
1
Macrons
Latvian marks long vowels with a line above: ā, ē, ī and ū.
2
Letters with a comma
Look for ķ, ļ, ņ and ģ, with a small comma beneath or above.
3
Flat and green
The countryside is flat, with forest, farmland and wooden farmhouses.
