   http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/finnish-intro.html
   
   Extractions: The Finnish language, spoken mainly in Finland but also by people of Finnish origin in Sweden and other countries, belongs to the Fenno-Ugric group of languages , which is a part of the Uralian family of languages. Other Uralian languages include: Estonian , which is rather near to Finnish Hungarian , which is very different from Finnish, with a fairly small number of related words ; and several languages spoken in Russia, mostly by small ethnic groups. The Uralian family of languages is possibly related to Indo-European There are several structural similarities between Uralian and Altaic languages. However, linguists generally do not regard the undeniable typological similarities as evidence for common origin . See the Finno-Ugrian FAQ , section Language relationship , and sci.lang FAQ , section How are present-day languages related? Both Uralian and Indo-European protolanguages had a relatively rich system of word flexion , e.g. about six cases for nouns. Typically Indo-European languages have developed towards a more analytic system where grammatical relations are expressed by word order, prepositions, and other auxiliary words rather than word flexion. On the other hand, in Uralian languages flexion has typically been preserved, and in part it has even expanded. Thus, for example, contemporary English has essentially just two cases (nominative and genitive), whereas

We all learn a mother tongue as children as a matter of course. Finnish children learn Finnish as easily as their counterparts in other countries learn their mother tongue. In this sense Finnish is no more difficult than any other language. But, of course, when people talk about 'a difficult language', what they really mean is a language that is thought to be particularly difficult for a foreign adult learner. In this article I discuss some features of Finnish which in my experience as a teacher of Finnish to foreigners for many years are perceived as difficult

    Extractions: Approximate distribution of Finland-Swedes shown in yellow Finland-Swedish is a general term for the closely related cluster of dialects of Swedish spoken in Finland by Finland-Swedes as a first language. For the most part, these dialects are mutually intelligible with Standard Swedish or can even be considered varieties of it. A common mistake made by many Swedes is to mistake Finland-Swedish for Swedish with a Finnish accent, something that can be a considerable source of frustration to most Finland-Swedes. In spoken language, especially among young people in Finnish-dominated areas, Finnish loanwords , as well as calques from Finnish, are frequently incorporated. There are also some words in the Finland-Swedish that in Sweden would be considered slightly archaic. Some words from the field of government and public service that have been created in recent centuries do also differ, like also other new words, notably loanwords from English . Some specific dialects from –sterbotten are practically unintelligible to Swedish-speaking people in southern Finland.
