	Finnic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Finnic peoples can thus be used to establish a contrast to the linguistically and culturally more distantly related Sami people (historically nomadic hunter-gatherers), but also to the surrounding Slavic peoples (Slavs), Baltic peoples (Balts), Scandinavians and other Germanic peoples (Germanics), i.e., linguistically both related and unrelated peoples sharing Agriculturalism with the Finnics.
		The largest Finnic immigrant wave swept through northern Scandinavia in the 16th–18th centuries, streching from Lake Vänern in the south to the Arctic Sea in the north.
		It is debated[12] whether the Chudes (mentioned by Jordanes 550 A.D.) were an unidentified Finnic tribe or whether a Finnic group might be considered to be the original Chudes.

	Baltic-Finnic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baltic-Finnic languages, or sometimes Finnic languages, are a subgroup of Finno-Ugric languages, spoken around the Baltic Sea by about 6 million people.
		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.
		This is because of the Slavic expansion, which isolated the Baltic-Finnic and Sami languages from the rest of the Finnic language group, confining the Finno-Saamic group to the Baltic Sea area.

	Finnic
		Finnic may refer to Finnish-similar languages spoken close to the Gulf of Finland, see: Finno-Ugric languages.
		Finnic may also refer to the peoples speaking these languages, and their farmer-hunter culture, traditionally living in Karelia, Ingria, Estonia, Finland, Northernmost Norway and Northern Sweden.
		Finnic used in this way establish the contrast to the nomadic Saamis, but also to the Slavonics, the Balts and the Scandinavians (or the Germanic peoples).

		Traditional Finnic magic is highly shamanistic and based on the concept of sisu, or “indomitable will”.
		Another important principle of Finnic magic is that all places and things have a haltija, or ingrained spirit which is to be recognized and treated with respect.
		A lot of Finnic Viking magic was done in a trance state induced by dancing, chanting, singing, smoking mushrooms, or even taking a nice sauna.

	Racial Characters of the Eastern Finns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It is a mistake to associate the origins of the Finnic people and Finnic speech with a forest culture, on the basis of modern associations; the Finns were from the start agriculturalists, and have remained such when circumstances have permitted.
		The implication is that while both Mordvins and Cheremisses preserve their original Finnic type with considerable fidelity, the infiltration of Mongol and Tatar peoples into their country since the time that the ancestors of the Carelians and other western tribes departed has had some recognizable effect upon them.
		On the whole, however, the generalization that the entire body of Finnic and Permian speakers, apart from the Baltic groups which remain to be studied, are closely unified in race has been shown to be accurate.

		Two of these documents, however, are of particular interest: Novgorod 403, the lower half of which Helimski (1988) has shown to be a Finnic-Russian »glossary», and Novgorod 292, dating from the middle of the 13th century, which is indisputably the oldest existing complete text in a Finnic language.
		The conventional interpretation of Novgorod 292 given by Eliseev (Jelisejev 1959, 1966) and Haavio (1964), is that the text is a »Karelian charm against lightning».
		However, the substitution of Finnic k with Russian x would be unusual (although not the only occurrence); the traditional reading as jumala 'God' is perhaps still a viable alternative.

	RECONNECTING FINNIC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.
		This symposium seeks to reestablish the connections between the study of the minor Finnic languages and the most vigorously developing approaches and subfields of modern linguistics.
		The symposium "Reconnecting Finnic" invites all researchers of the Finnic languages as well as all linguists interested in Finno-Ugric and Circum-Baltic languages, to discuss the various perspectives of Finnic studies and the possible contribution of Finnic studies to general linguistics - or vice versa.

	Possible Language Shifts in the Uralic Language Group
		In addition to this, it is customarily supposed that Finnic and Lapp languages descend from a common proto-language.
		The differences under observation indicate rather the variety of the Finnic and Lapp original language forms and only a partial assimilation. It may have been caused by the fact that the language form carried by the Lapps’ ancestors behind the ice field primarily differed either more or less from the Finnic language form.
		Leaving aside the vocabulary with its relatively changeable nature, it should be mentioned that concerning the structure of Lapp languages their phonetics differs from that of Finnic languages in the way that instead of the common proto-phonetic divergence, i.e.

		The language has got a very special meaning and purpose in my band; I use mainly the old-styled Finnic runo-singing metrics including a lot of dialectal features and old expressions of my mother tongue that is thus Finnish, but also even completely new words I've developed myself.
		As I've studied linguistics and many different languages in the university, I've also got features from Karelian, Ingrian and even Estonian, which are Finnic languages as well and quite close to Finnish, and my lyrics do not follow any certain regulations or patterns, as the language in general lives and changes all the time, naturally.

		I suggest that a part of the southern region--where some Finnic tribes lived--reached yet further south: The southern part was in the Near East and the northern part of Africa: And the Finnic tribes obviously spoke Finnic tongues.
