		Originally, Finnish had no initial consonant clusters, this however is changing due to influence from other European languages.
		However, it is common to hear these clusters eroded in speech ("resitentti") particularly, though not exclusively, by Finns who know little or no Swedish or English and who are not used to making sounds for letters such as d, c or x.
		In dialects or in the "everyday language" /v, d, j, h/ can have distinctive length.

		Languages in the Middle East, such as Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian, and languages of Afghanistan, India and Pakistan such as Pashto, Kashmiri, Punjabi, Urdu, Sindhi, Baluchi, and so on, with a variety of dialects, covering millions of people, use the right to left direction in writing their words, phrases and sentences.

	Letters in Finnish
		In particular, the convention (used in German for example) of replacing them by ae and oe is not acceptable for Finnish, though such replacement method is generally known due to its application in international texts.
		Base letters that are conventionally regarded as part of the Finnish alphabet, yet appear only in words of foreign origin that have exceptionally preserved their original spelling and, naturally, in foreign names, and derivations of such words: c, q, w, x, z, å.
		They are officially regarded as part of Finnish orthography, although they occur relatively rarely and only in loanwords, foreign names, and their derivations and although they are often omitted when listing the Finnish alphabet.

	Finnish Mythology
		Germanic languages as a result of an admixture of proto-Indo-European dialects and a "proto-European" Finno-Ugrian language changes the picture: as the Indo-European group was diffused, it cannot have produced "finalized" daughter languages which was the former simplistic view.
		Here was developed a practical new "world language," a _lingua franca._ The core of the common language came to be the Indo-European language of the more mobile nomad population, but the majority of its speakers had a Finno-Ugrian language as their mother tongue.
		Wiik believes the main reason for the language shift was the "higher authority" of the new Indo-European language of the population which already had adopted agriculture.

		Since the stress in Finnish always falls on the first syllable of the word, the ends of words greater than one syllable tend to erode.
		As noted in the Finnish grammar page, the passive form is normally used in speech for first-person plural.
		In the latter case the 'me' is obligatory, whereas it is not in the 'proper' case since the verb's inflection indicates the person and number.

	Introduction to Finnish
		Thus, Finnish is a synthetic language: it uses suffixes to express grammatical relations and also to derive new words.
		This approach was especially used in the 19th century when Finnish was consciously developed from the status of a language spoken by common people into a written, official (since 1863) and cultural language.
		You have probably now realized why Finnish words are rather long in the average: root words are long due to the conservativeness, suffixes and composition are used to derive new words, and suffixes are used for flexion.

		However, the aUI language itself strikes me as a really rather interesting example of a constructed à priori "oligosynthetic" language rather in the tradition and spirit of the 17th century glossopoeic efforts of John Wilkins, George Dalgarno, and Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz.
		If aUI is indeed a real language, it may be an outgrowth of a biology, physiology, and psychology, a background of sense- and speech-organs and of day-to-day and minute-to-minute bodily and environmental sensations, very different from the ones underlying human language.
		Ultimately, the intuitive language discussed by linguists like Otto Jespersen, Edward Sapir, and Morris Swadesh is rooted in human biology and physiology.
