  1. Isä means father in Finnish (Suomi). Nobody seems to know where Suomi came from, as it isn't Indo-European.

  2.  @manuvarghese9915  Yup. Alexander had conquered that region, so Greek was the official language still. Hebrew was primarily spoken by the various Jewish religious leaders, and Aramaic was peculiar to some of the people in Judea. It's funny because most people who read the Bible don't even know that the New Testament was written in Greek. Old Testament is ancient Hebrew, and wasn't maintained continually from Israelite King to King. This year, while studying the Old Testament again, it was impressed on me that the Israelites never really spiritually recovered from their captivity in Egypt, and had a continual attachment to the pagan idolatry of the Egyptian-Babylonian-Assyrian civilizations.

  4.  @MrIdam86  It's as if there was a single ancient language, and someone mixed it up like a Rubics Cube.

  7.  @joshuajohn74  It sounds like Algonquin native American languages of the New England/Newfoundland region, and has common words to those. Common words aren't definitive though, since they exist across many separate language groups.

  8.  @thebronzehexagon  Uralic origin is just a theory, but DNA testing is opening up new ideas as to origins. We have a lot more research to do really. The 1800s-1900s theories were extremely limited in access to information and technology that we have an overabundance of today.

  9.  @mebadiheidar  There was a group of people who left after The Tower of Babel and went by barges first across the Mediterranean, then over the Atlantic to North America in shell-shaped boats. They died out thousands of years ago. They’re known as the Jaredites. Their leader was Mahonri Moriancumr, the brother of Jared. Another set of 2 groups left Jerusalem centuries later in 600 BC, before the Babylonian invasion of Israel. The first group was a family whose father was warned in a dream to leave Jerusalem before it was destroyed. The second group left right at the time of the Babylonian invasion years later. These two groups who left Jerusalem took different routes, one down the Arabian Peninsula, then by ship to North America. The other group ended up in North America, but we don’t know what route they took. Descendants from each group found each other in North America hundreds of years later and records were kept by the first group of all these events. The second group didn’t take any records with them when they left Jerusalem at the time of its sacking, and lost their native tongue over time in North America, but found records and one survivor of the ancient Tower of Babel group, the Jaredites. Those records got combined with the family records of those who left Jerusalem when the descendants reunited. These records were later buried in a hill in New York around 400 AD, then were made known to a young farm boy in the early 1800s, who translated them with a Urim and Thumim after being shown them by an angel who was the last to deposit the records in the hill when he was still alive. These people say they had prophetic revelations about the coming of a Savior of the World, and He visited them in the year 33 AD, descending from Heaven in a pillar of light after some cataclysms. We call those records, The Book of Mormon. Mormon was the father of the last guy to make an entry on the plates, the same one who showed them to the New York farm boy. That man’s name was Moroni. There are a lot of ancient Mediterranean symbols found in the Eastern US, as well as mounds, earthworks, and artifacts from those eras. The Cherokee say their ancestors arrived to America via boats long ago. It’s all very interesting.

  10.  @duane6386  That's one of the theories, but researchers who looked at DNA and linguistic analyses in the 1990s cast doubt on the Finno-Ugric theory. We just don't know, other than it isn't Indo-European.

  11.  @bogdandanailescu  There's been a lot of more recent DNA research that calls into question the premise of the Finno-Ugric language group. One thing linguistically is that the grammar is more complex the more North you go. Estonian is simpler than Suomi/Finnish, while Saami has more complexity. This is the opposite direction from Hungary or the Urals. It's more like someone sailed into Scandinavia from another continent.
