World dictation in the Latvian language is a private initiative aimed at developing the Latvian language and strengthening its roots in today’s multicultural environment. Within nine years, it has grown from a small event organized by language enthusiasts into an international project, in which 2000 interested people from 29 countries participated last year. Every year, one of the modern Latvian writers creates a text of about 300 words, which is dictated by a famous Latvian actor. This year, writer Māris Bērziņš was chosen as the author of the dictation.
