Editing Anglicism (section)

===Latvian===
The first anglicisms in the written sources of [[Latvian language|Latvian]] appear at the end of the 18th century, however, up until the middle 1970s they were barely researched as their number remained low and since they mostly appeared in the terminology of sports and engineering. The direct contact between Latvian and English at that time was very limited, thus most of the anglicisms entered Latvian through German or Russian.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Anglicismi latviešu valodā |trans-title=Anglicisms in the Latvian language |first=Juris |last=Baldunčiks |url=http://gramatas.lndb.lv/periodika2-viewer/view/index-dev.html#panel:pp%7cissue:/g_001_0304059354%7carticle:DIVL702%7cpage:6%7cissueType:B |year=1989 |publisher=[[Zinātne]] |location=Riga |isbn=5-7966-0078-8 |page=6}}</ref> Ever since Latvia regained its independence, there has been an influx of anglicisms into the Latvian language due to the fact that media in English is more accessible than ever.
