Hungarian is a language isolate

Name: Anonymous 2008-01-07 13:50

I'm sick of jealous people who want to take away the uniqueness of the Hungarian language by inaccurately linking it with other languages it has little to do with such as Finnish or Turkish. The most common thing they cite are a handful of similar words and "vowel harmony". Vowel harmony means a different vowel in the suffix is used depending on the earlier vowels that are in the word. The vowels Hungarian, Finnish, and Turkish use are completely different.

Other languages that has been unfairly categorized into a language family are Albanian and Armenian, the Indo-European family.

Yukaghir live near japan. the still don't sound Japanese

>You know, Russia in its entirety is not just one solid all-Russian-speaking block

Exactly why it would be so difficult for a language to be carried that far. Finnish would more likely take things from languages that are spoken geographically closer to Finland.

Im not saying its imposable, just unlikely. You still haven't had anything solid to back up your argument.

Also Japanese is strict in comparison to Finnish 

eg 貴方達の基盤総て私達の物です
    and
  貴方達の基盤総て私達に殺ぐする事が在ります

Both theses sentences emit the same idea, slightly differntly
However they still follow a strict TSOV pattern
