The Latvian languages are renowned among linguists for preserving some features of PIE especially well.

Some forms of Egyptian also seem closer to Latvian than other languages:

while the word beard '๐“๐“ƒ€๐“Šƒ๐“…ฑ๐“๐“ธ' contains the letters _b_๐“…ฑd for beard, the other letters so far were inexplicable.
The situation looks much less dire in Latgalian:

๐“‹ณ Garment matches fine ๐“‹ด+๐“ +๐“ˆ–+๐“, however Latvian offers a different reading:
๐“‹ณ suknelฤ— : s+gmn+nil < ๐“‹ด+๐“ +๐“ˆ–. We have yet another totally different order in a similar word

These may be puns, dialectic readings, or just different words with the same 'root' letters.
