_The comparison with latinos in the US is a false comparison. Latinos born in the US are US citizens no matter what language they speak. They are not forced to undergo citizenship tests._
majority of the countries in the world do not require tests from kids born in the country, unless the parents are citizens of another country that automatically grant citizenship to the child. estonia is no exception. so yes, latino comparison is accurate.
you compare estonian language issue to indian dialects? buddy, the dialects have been there for ages. russians imported theirs 67 years ago. bit of a difference there. and speaking of which, estonian language has been spoken in the same region a long time before varangians led by rurik crossed the baltic sea. so in a sense, estonians have been longer around than russians. but well, that's beside the point here.
