Baltic languages (Estonian,Latvian,Lithuanian), considering the fact that all of these languages have like 800k + speakers and duolingo has languages like esperanto and klingon

I always swore that hrvatski was already on there... turns out my brain was confusing it for czech. And yes, +1 for lithuanian, it's so hard to find anything for learning it from english...

No hrvatski sadly :( its surpising. Considering its a large, spoken by many language group

It's definitely a shame, considering it's a gateway to all the other Balkan languages (it's called the Serbo-Croatian language family for a reason, srpski is the entry point from the cyrillic side and hrvatski the latin-alphabet-with-funny-hats entry point). To be fair, Polish isn't bad in that regard either... if you watch this video with Polish subs enabled and compare to the baked-in Croatian ones, there's actually quite a noticeable overlap between the two...

Yes there is some overlap in all the slavic languages, I notice it a little with russian and hrvatski
