Finno-Ugric languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A portion of the Baltic-Finnic lexicon is not shared with the remaining Finno-Ugric languages and may be due to a pre-Finnic substrate, which may coincide in part with the substrate of the Indo-European Baltic languages. As far as the Samic (Lappic) languages are concerned, a hypothesis has been advanced that the Sami were originally speakers of a different language, who adopted their current Finno-Ugric speech under the pressure of their Finnic neighbors. The relation of the Finno-Permic and the Ugric groups is remote by some standards. www.cypress.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Finno-Ugric_language   (1945 words)

ipedia.com: Finno-Ugric language Article Unlike most of the languages spoken in Europe, the Finno-Ugric languages are not part of the Indo-European family of languages.

There have been attempts to relate them to the Indo-European languages, but there are not enough similarities to link them with any certainty. www.ipedia.com /finno_ugric_language.html   (228 words)

Finno-Ugric and Turkic? This also means that there may be a lot of genetic and cultural relatedness between some Finno-Ugric and Turkic peoples. The mechanisms by which language is transmitted are fundamentally different from those of cultural or genetic transmission, which means that people can be genetically related (have some ancestors in common) or culturally “related” (have a significant amount of elements of a common origin in their cultures) without speaking languages that are related (i.e. It is just that many of the most important languages of the world, and perhaps of of those we learn as second or third languages, all belong to the Indo-European language family. homepage.univie.ac.at /Johanna.Laakso/fu_tu.html   (1261 words)

UIRALA-Boat People Impact on Europe In my view, one of the reasons perhaps, that the Finno-Ugric language family had not previously been considered in research into the past of continental Europe, is that since the late 1800's, there has existed a theory about Finno-Ugric origins that portrays them migrating from east to west. After they had determined the existence of a Finno-Ugric language, they attempted to describe the history of its evolution. Their language divisions are related to water basins, and the best explanation for their history is that there was a rapid expansion up all the rivers from the Altantic, that filled up the lands, and then gradually dialectic divergence occurred according to boat-use being confined to water basin regions. www3.sympatico.ca /paabo/uirala/uinit-FinnoUgricbackground.html   (1261 words)

Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! The Ugric division of Finno-Ugric languages is composed of Hungarian and the Ob-Ugric languages Mansi (Vogul) and Khanty (Ostyak).

Usein kysyttyä suomalais-ugrilaisista kielistä This means either that the area of the Finno-Ugrian (Uralic) proto-language has been very wide, reaching perhaps from the Baltic Sea to the Urals, or that we must find alternative explanatory models to account for the spreading of these languages. In fact, the lack of grammatical gender (FU languages have only one word for "he" and "she"), the lack of a verb for "have" (Finnish uses structures like "there is a book with me" for "I have a book") or the lack of a grammatically expressed future tense are universally quite frequent phenomena. The Volgaic and Permian languages have hundreds of thousands of speakers, but most of the fluent speakers are elderly and live in the countryside; many urban and young people tend to give up their language in favour of Russian. www.helsinki.fi /~jolaakso/fufaq.html   (683 words)

Finno-Ugric Languages, subfamily of the Uralic languages spoken in parts of northern Scandinavia, eastern Europe, and northwestern Asia Attempts to connect the Finno-Ugric subfamily with other language families, notably with the Turkic branch of the Altaic languages and the Indo-European languages, have produced evidence of similarities, but not enough to prove any connection conclusively. The Ugric branch contains (besides Hungarian) the Ob-Ugric languages, consisting of two minor languages, Khanty (Ostyak) and Mansi (Vogul); these are spoken in the Ob’ River valley of northwestern Siberia. Early Finno-Ugric, the reconstructed ancient parent language, was enriched through contact with the Iranian language (see Persian Language). www.sfu.ca /~akocheto/finnougric.htm   (683 words)

According to the interpretation of the geneticists who conducted the study, the ancestors of modern Germanic and Slavic-speaking peoples were in fact largely speakers of Finno-Ugric languages at some earlier time. As far as the Sami (Lappic) languages are concerned, a hypothesis has been advanced that the ancestors of the Sami originally spoke a different language, but adopted their current tongue under the pressure of their Finnic-speaking neighbours. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Finno-Ugric_language   (2340 words)
