Viktors Bertholds (16 January 1921 – 28 February 2009) was a Livonian and one of the last native speakers of the Livonian language. He was born in the village of Vaide (Livonian: Vaid) in 1921.[1] Formerly believed to be the last native speaker of Livonian,[1][2] this title actually belonged to Grizelda Kristiņa, a relative of Bertholds who died in 2013.[2]
