Jõvvõ päuvõ!
This test-wikipedia is expanding quite fast, but still the grammar and writing (f.e. letters in words) of Livonian language is in very bad level. Can you explain, where do you get a materials to study writing, in case that I know you (LIV wikipedia authors) are not a native speakers and even do not speak this language fluently?

- Tienū komentārõst !
- Where do I get my materials? Good question. For example, komentār from my previous sentence I took from livones.lv , decided that this newly invented word should probably be declined in the same way as jumāl which I can check from many sources starting from Sjögren grammar book so it goes. You are liv-3, that should include ability to write texts, don't you want to write an article here? About your concern about spelling, I am using now LiNDA (vilkatis.lv) to check my spelling.

Jõvvõ päuvõ! I've only recently started learning Livonian. Hope you don't mind my contributions. --Comp1089 15:47, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Indigenous contributions?
Hi, I appreciate everybody's efforts to create wikis in endangered languages. But are any ethnic Livonians involved? As far as I could see, only Fins, Estonians and other speakers of Finnic languages have contributed to it. Of course, it is too much to hope for native speakers showing up, but it would be nice if language revivers, Livonian cultural organisations or... just anyone with Livonian heritage participated in some way. For whom else are you writing this Wikipedia? Steinbach (talk) 17:30, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
- Dear Steinbach! I removed your post because I didn't/don't see any sence in answering questions, which had been asked very much times. It's tiring too quickly... I also didn't see any disagreement with that action, it can mean that nobody cares. :3
- So, it's Ēlmaz and (maybe) Warbola, they are real Livonians. Maybe Nuclear Star is Livonian too, but I doubt in it and can't tell you for sure. You may ask him/her, if you're really interested, in which I doubt too. He/she is active here.
- "for whom are you writing this Wikipedia?" -> for ethnic Livonians and enthusiasts of Livonian language. Do you wait another answer?--Aig mest ei varasta (talk) 11:31, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
"don't censor critical contributions!" -> It's good to do something without any criticism. The best criticists are LangCom. As for me, I think that this is an active project, and it's enough for a first time. For sure the project wasn't created "for lulz", but possibly for real readers and contributors, including ones of Livonian origin. (P.S. By the way, we have such similar nicknames. =))--Leinbach (talk) 16:48, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
