on Omegle with a Finnish guy
You: I read that the Scandinavian languages are more closely related to Uralic and Turkic languages than Latin and Greek
Stranger: you are wrong
Stranger: that's a malicious lie
Your conversational partner has disconnected.

Well what is it? Are they really related to Central Asian languages, or is the guy right?

Danish+Swedish+Norwegian = Scandinavian language.
Scandinavian + English + German + Gothic +... = Germanic branch.
Germanic + Italic + Celtic + Slav +Indoiranian +... = Indoeuropean family.

Finnish IS NOT an Indoeuropean language. It's an Uralic language, related to Hungarian, Estonian, Mari and Udmurt. So, Finnish is, as far as we know, NOT EVEN related with Scandinavian language.

About Central Eurasian languages: some hypothesis propose that Uralic and Altaic languages are related. If this is true, yes, Finnish is more related to Mongolian, Turkish and Korean.
