Finnish is spoken by approximately 5 million people. It tends to be similar to the related Hungarian, although this language, apart from similar sentence construction and vocabulary and morphology, is considerably different. Neighbouring languages that are very similar to Finnish include Estonian, which belongs to the Baltic Finnic branch of the Finno-Ugric languages.

Baltic languages are of great interest to linguists, as they have retained many of the archaic forms derived from early Indo-European. The Baltic and Slavic branches diverged in around the 10th century B.C. Before that there was not a single unified language, but a number of different dialects.
