At the heart of Latgalian culture is their language, which is recognized as a separate language in Latvia, and is used in daily communication, literature, and education. A significant contribution of Latgalian culture is in the realm of folk music and dance.

Specialty dishes such as ‘kliņģeris’, a sweet sourdough bread, and ‘biezpienmaize’, a curd cake, tell tales of a culinary appreciation that dates back centuries.
