Anyone here interested in learning livonian? It was once spoken on the west coast of Latvia and a small part of southwest Estonia. They teach it in some Latvian universities and I was wondering if anyone had some more information. Omniglot has a page for it here:

From what I understand it is completely extinct except for about 30ish people at the Livonian cultural museum, who have been working their asses off trying to turn it into a living language again.
