Influences
The Estonian vocabulary has been influenced by German and Russian, which are languages spoken by countries that once occupied Estonia. German scholars were the first to produce documents in Estonian, and they used the Latin alphabet to do so. Despite subsequent occupation by Russia, Estonian still uses the Latin alphabet, rather than Cyrillic.Languages Of The World: Structure Languages Of The World: Writing
