Finnish

Does it have any purpose? It looks like an interesting language...but nobody really speaks it.

Nope, it's really Finnish. Although it has some grammatical errors (first talking about a nigger (singluar) and then referencing to it as it would be plural), and it's not the "real" written Finnish, just some dialect.
A free translation would be "Well, I don't know about you, but I'd like to fuck a nigger and put some banana in their ass."

The correct written sentence would be "En tiedä teistä, mutta itse ainakin tahdon naida neekeriä ja työntää banaania hänen perseeseensä."

Finnish is said to be one of the hardest languages to learn for foreign people, although it's not impossible. :)
It's hard to master though. Finnish is really complex language, with some nouns having easily over a hundred different conjugations (ie. house => (not in any order except for the beginning..) talo - taloni - talosi - talonsa - talomme - talonne - talonsa - talot - talossaan - talostaan - talossaankaan - taloonsakkaan - talossanikaan - talossasikaan - talossammekaan - taloissammekaan - taloissanikaan - taloissannekaan - taloista - taloistaan - taloistakaan....... the list goes on forever)
Many of those conjugations are (fortunately ;)) rarely used though.

Then there's many other problems too. Finnish is very different when comparing written and spoken language. Not only by pronouncication (that's the smallest part; pronouncication is pretty close to the written form of the word in most cases), but by sentence structure too.
These both can be translated to "they go":
Written language: he menevät
Spoken: ne menee

As you probably saw, conjugation is made by suffixes (omistusliite), not with prepositions.
My house - Taloni
This often gives troubles for foreign people - which suffix to use and when?

Then there's many dialects of Finnish language.
A bus can be "linja-auto", "linkki", "linjuri", "dösä", "bussi" and so on depending on where you live. ;)
Although it's only on the spoken word; there's standards on written language which are used in all parts of Finland.

I'm kinda running out of time, gotta go soon. If anyone needs more information (or wasn't scared from that and still wants to learn Finnish), maybe I can help. Just drop a reply and I'll try to answer. :)
