As a native Latvian speaker I disagree that the Latvian Consonant inventory is \Moderately small\, as listed here. WALS in http://wals.info/feature/1 claim that a moderately small inventory has 15-18 phonemes, but I have counted 27 in Latvian:
p d t d ķ ģ k g
f v s z š ž h
c č dz dž
m n ņ
l ļ j
r
- so that lead to a conclusion that Latvian has Moderately Large consonant inventory: 26-33.
