	RECONNECTING FINNIC
		"Baltic Finnic") languages are a subgroup of Uralic, genetically closely related but taxonomically problematic, due to diverse contacts and contact-induced developments.
		Beside Finnish and Estonian, the minor Finnic languages (Karelian, Ludian, Vepsian, Ingrian, Votian, Livonian), all endangered minority languages and some almost extinct, have received less attention and mainly served as providers for historical background information in the search of the roots of Finnish or Estonian.
		A hundred years ago, in the "golden age" of comparative historical Finno-Ugristics, knowledge of the minor Finnic languages was an essential part of Finnish or Estonian philology and closely linked to the most central fields of contemporary linguistic studies.

	DEATH AND AFTERWARDS
		The Votes are a Greek Catholic Baltic Finnic people on the verge of their extinction (about 60 elderly people), the last representatives of which are living in three villages in the Kingissepp district of Leningrad oblast (province).
		Penetrating into the people's ideas about what will happen after death, how this world and the one after death are connected to each other, or what is their notion about the other world in general, helps us gain information about everyday beliefs.
		As a nation they exist primarily in the linguistic point of view, as their national identity has been assimilated by the dominating Izhorian and, more particularly, Russian neighbourhood during this century (for more details, see Viikberg 1993).

	Re: Sami is related to...?
		Included is a translation of T. Vuorela's classic The Finno-Ugric Peoples which gives a fine anthropological and ethnographical survey of the Baltic- Finnic (or Fennic) peoples and contains some priceless historical photographs (the picture and description of a Vepsian sauna remains brilliantly imprinted in my mind).
		During the 1960s and 70s the Indiana University Press published almost a hundred books within the framework of its Uralic and Altaic Studies Program.

	From June Pelo's article collection
		In Finnish, the impact of these cultures is evident in a substantial stratum of Baltic and Germanic loanwords; the latter, in particular, exist in a number of different strata in Finnish and its closest related languages (the Baltic-Finnic languages), as well as in Saami.
		The oldest Baltic and Germanic loanwords are so old that their sources had not yet diverged considerably from Proto-Indo-European; we should remember that the break-up of Proto-Indo-European is surmised to have happened only 1,000 years before the appearance of the ‘hammer-axe’ culture.
		This culture is held to represent the northern Indo-European populations, whose languages were early versions of present-day Baltic and Germanic languages.

	Finnic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Finnic (Fennic, sometimes Baltic-Finnic) may refer to Finnish-similar languages spoken close to the Gulf of Finland, i.e., the Balto-Finnic subgroup of the Finno-Ugric languages or, alternatively, a larger subgroup that also includes the Sami languages.
		According to earlier established theories, agricultural Finnic peoples were believed to have inhabited parts of what are now the Baltic countries before the first millennium.
		The term 'Finnic peoples' can be used in this way to establish a contrast to the 'Slavic peoples' ('Slavs'), the 'Baltic peoples' ('Balts'), and the 'Germanic peoples' (including 'Scandinavians'), but also to the more distantly akin, and historically nomadic, Sami people.

	Matti Kuusi and the Project of Baltic-Finnic Proverbs
		The goal was to explore the common proverb heritage of Baltic-Finnic peoples, with an additional task of comparing them to Sámi, Russian, Latvian (or Baltic in general), Swedish (or Scandinavian in general), or German (or Germanic in general) material, i.e.
		The next longer paragraph gives a versatile outline about the ethnic history of the Baltic Finns (starting with archaeological periods), about contacts with non-Baltic-Finnic neighbours, and how these relations might be reflected in proverbs.
		Hopefully such synthesis might provide additional information about linguistic and cultural contacts in the Baltic Sea region, about the similarities and differences appearing in the mentality of different peoples, and it might assist in exploring the cultural-ecological factors that could have favoured or hindered the dissemination of particular proverbs to particular cultural territories.

		Traders came to the area mainly for the supply of furs, which they exchanged for iron swords, wine goblets etc. At the end of the Great Migration (400-800) trading with the peoples south of the Baltic declined.
		The campaigns of the Vikings did not affect Finland directly although it strengthened the economy of Finland and around the Baltic.
		Also during 900 AD the trading settlement of Koroinen was established where the present day city of Turku is now located, the settlement traded with several different European peoples, known because of the Byzantine, Anglo-Saxon and Germanic coins found at site.

	Baltic Sea - Unipedia
		Finland and the Baltic states were the last in Europe to be converted into Christianity in the Northern Crusades: the former in the 12th century by the Swedes and the latter in the 13th century by the Germans.
		The flow of the rivers into the Baltic is quite high, however, and as a result the salinity of water in the Baltic Sea is somewhere between freshwater and seawater, known as brackish water.
		The Baltic Sea is surrounded by countries practicing a lot of agriculture, which leads into a lot of fertilizers getting into the sea (also, the city of Saint Petersburg still doesn't process much of its waste water), and therefore every summer a lot of algae blooming takes place.

	Talk:Hebrew languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Compare other language continua such as Baltic-Finnic languages, where each transitional dialect has a name and is called a language, but has very few difficult differences from their neighbors.
		The Hebrew language might be appropriately called the Israelitish dialect of Canaanitish, a branch of the Semitic Languages spoken in Palestine and in the Phenician colonies.
		Calling Adomite a "Hebrew language" is just as strange (in the context of an encyclopedia, which is meant to explain, not to confuse), as calling the Portuguese language a "Spanish Language".

	FINLAND: Uralic Languge Family
		Finnic is divided into the Baltic-Finnic, Volga-Finnic, and Permian languages; Ugric comprises Hungarian and the Ob-Ugric languages.
		Today the western Uralic and eastern Altaic languages, extend from Scandinavia, Hungary, and the Balkans in the south-west, to the easternmost reaches of the Amur and the island of Sakhalin, and from the Arctic Ocean to central Asia.
		All these languages are worth saving, but some may be beyond hope, and we should concentrate on saving the most saveable first, while not forgetting the others.

	Articles - Baltic-Finnic languages
		Major languages in the part of Europe surrounding the area of the Baltic-Finnic languages, are from the Baltic, Slavic or Germanic subgroups of the Indo-European family.
		Baltic-Finnic languages are closest related to the Sami languages, and rather distinct from the rest of Finno-Ugric languages, but form a tighter group together.
		Thus the Baltic-Finnic languages are, unlike most languages spoken in Europe, not part of the Indo-European language family.
