It is spoken mainly in parts of the North Caucasus republics of Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia (Eastern Circassia), and in Turkey, Jordan and Syria (the extensive post-war diaspora).

Līvõ.

Also known as 'Livonian'.

It's nearly extinct by now, unfortunately. The language belongs to the Finnic branch of the Uralic languages (which, in turn, is thought by some to be part of Ural-Altaic language tree stretching all across Siberia and Central Asia. So, all the way from Finland to Japan, basically ... Or from Turkey to Japan, if that makes more sense)

It was spoken in areas of north west and northern Latvia.
Closely related to Votic (Vaddaa) and Estonian (Eesti) that were mentioned on this thread previously.
