Question

Where was "Postimees", the first regular newspaper published in the language of the indigenous people of what became the independent country, founded in 1857?

Answer 1

Pärnu, Estonia
It was a weekly periodical, although published irregularly in the early months. Estonia had been variously occupied for over 400 years by a mixture of neighbouring powers, most recently Swedish, Russian and German, and from the 1850s began increasingly asserting an Estonian national identity.
