Estonia’s large Russian-speaking minority used to be taught in Russian. The government has responded to Russia’s invasion with a reform to end this. Now, lessons will only be taught in Estonian.

    Estonian is 100% a baltic language, but not a Slavic language. Latvian and Lithuanian are also not Slavic.

        Finnish and Estonian share a root - and I would call both languages Baltic. Latcian and Lithuanian share and equally ancient and separate root - but are still Baltic.

        Hungarian not Baltic, but Finni-Ugrech.

        You have a point, bit don’t carellessly deny them their Baltic definition.
