No, Latvia does not use the Cyrillic alphabet as its official writing system.
Latvia primarily uses the Latin alphabet, which consists of 27 letters and is adapted to accommodate the sounds specific to the Latvian language. The adoption of the Latin script aligns with Latvia’s cultural identity and historical ties to Western Europe, especially following its independence from the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.
While the Cyrillic alphabet is employed in some minority languages within Latvia, particularly by the Russian-speaking community, it is not used for official state purposes or in education. The use of the Latin alphabet is a significant aspect of Latvia’s national language policy, which aims to promote Latvian culture and language.
