History
Finnish shares a common origin with Hungarian and Estonian (both Ugric languages). Finnish speakers are thought to have been in Finland since approximately 3,000 BC. Over time, the language has been influenced by Indo-European languages spoken in other European countries. Swedish, due to the proximity of the countries, has had the largest impact.Virtual Finland: The Finnish Language-
