Original Message: Finnish is one of the three Finno-Ugric languages |

Its "relatives" are Estonian and – believe it or not – Hungarian! I think I read somewhere that JRR Tolkein in his Middle-Earth tales used Finnish as the basis for the high-elven language Quenya (and Welsh as the basis for the grey-elven tongue Sindarin). You can take this as another one, if you like! |
