Scandinavian Languanges

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?

No one can actually say for sure whether Uralic languages are related to Turkic languages or not, but numerous titillating similarities can be found between the two language families. I find it very interesting, for example, that Uralic and Turkic personal pronouns resemble each other to a very high degree:

However, most modern linguists would probably say that Uralic and Turkic languages (and also Japanese and Korean) aren't related at all. There are a few notable exceptions, though, and I've met a lot of people who are convinced that the so-called Ural-Altaic family of languages exists.
