Well Estonia and Finland are right next to each other. A tunnel between them is being considered.

Estonian and Finnish are closely related to other Finno-Permic languages like Karelian, Sami, etc and more distantly related to Hungarian, Komi, Udmurt, and Mari languages. They all have common roots in the Ural mountains. These groups are separated today, but about 1500 years ago they were not separated. They were all inhabitants of the northern tiers between the Urals and Norway. The Slavic migration north killed off many tribes and turned others into Russian speakers.

@emfi-777 That’s absolutely correct. Hungarian has a different history though. Their language comes from the same Ural mountain area, but their tribes migrated South into the modern day Kazakhstan, then the Caucuses, then Turkey and West into Romania/Hungary. The tribes, which were nomadic, eventually united and settled in modern day Hungary. Hungarian thus has a lot of borrowed words and structure from Turkic languages.

@jonathanstein5049 At least 40% of the project would be financed by the EU. The RailBaltica link between Tallinn and Warsaw was 80% funded by the EU.

@siren369xstar8 Yeah, no. There are no Finnish influences in the Russian language, sorry. That’s just your untrained ear. There are many influences from Swedish, German, French and English, but not Finnish. Even in St Petersburg where I grew up, there are only a couple of Finnish words used as slang, but only a few people use them or know them.

@rupsikas1950 You need to do a little bit of research before trying to correct others. “The Finno-Permic (Fenno-Permic) or Finno-Permian (Fenno-Permian) languages, or sometimes just Finnic (Fennic) languages, are a proposed subdivision of the Uralic languages which comprise the Balto-Finnic languages, Sámi languages, Mordvinic languages, Mari language, Permic languages and likely a number of extinct languages. In the traditional taxonomy of the Uralic languages, Finno-Permic is estimated to have split from Finno-Ugric around 3000–2500 BC, and branched into Permic languages and Finno-Volgaic languages around 2000 BC.”

@rupsikas1950 Do you not read? Both are languages under the Finno-Permic group! Do yourself a favor and find the commonality of those. I’ll give you a hint, it starts with an “F”, ends with a “c”, and is the subject of the entire thread.

@rupsikas1950 Just say you’re a troll.
