It's considered a dialect of Latvian by the Ethnologue.
But they're known to have very unreliable information in many cases.
They even list Yinglish as a language when it's not even a dialect or
sociolect, merely a group of code-switching phenomena (mostly. see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yinglish ), while they neglect to even
mention Singlish, the creole language spoken natively by most young
Singaporeans.

Hoi,
The code bat is a "collective code" for Baltic (other). Latgalian however is
considered a dialect of Latvian and therefore it is not "other".

Hoi,
According to Ethnologue Latgalian is a dialect of Latvian. From my point
of
view, there is not even a proposed code to be
used for your proposed
Wikipedia that would be acceptable. Acceptable would be something like
"lv-latg" or "lav-latg" ..
There's a test wiki at
http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Test-wp/ltg
The code bat-ltv has been suggested.
