Finnish...
"Finnish is spoken by about 85 per cent of the 4.5
million in-
habitants of Finland, and by communities in Estonia, Sweden,
and the United States. Fen-land (meaning the ‘land of
marshes’,
- the Finns call it Suomi) was settled in the 8th century A.D. by
the Finns, who forced the original Lapp
population to move
northward. In the 12th century Finland was dominated and
Christianized by Swedes, which made Swedish the official and
literary language. The area passed by stages to Russia (1721-1809),
but during the early 19th century a growing nationalist move-
ment resulted in constituting Finnish the national language
(1863) and establishing the Finnish Republic in 1919.
Finnish is placed in the Finnic group of the Uralian languages,
which includes such tongues as
Estonian,
Livonian,
Karelian,
and Vepse. More distantly related within the Uralian family are
the Lapp,
Mordvin,
Cheremiss,
Vogul,
Votiak, and
Hungarian
(Ugric) languages." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
