		When the words are in a language that is little understood, (and in the case of Forgotten Peoples, some dead languages) those lines of decision become further blurred.
		To characterize the place of the Estonian language, I'd like to borrow from the writer Ain Kaalep, who said that ‘we - Estonians, Finns and Hungarians - are the Red Indians of Europe.’ There is obviously no other civilization of the same period that could have retained their language and ancient music.
		I was fortunate to hear the songs of the Votians and Izhorians performed live, which gave me a deep emotional charge.

		Unlike most of the languages spoken in Europe, the Finno-Ugric languages are not part of the Indo-European family of languages.
		The "Urheimat" of the proto-language of the modern Finno-Ugric languages, known as Proto-Finno-Ugric, is believed to be to the west of the Ural mountains, some 5000 years ago.
		There have been attempts to relate them to the Indo-European languages, but there are not enough similarities to link them with any certainty.

		The "Urheimat" of the proto-language of the modern Finno-Ugric languages, the so-called Proto-Finno-Ugric, is believed to be on the western side of the Ural mountains 5000 years ago.
		There have been attempts to relate them to the Indo-European languages, but the about 40 similarities are not enough.
		Conversely, there have been suggestions (based on archeological evidence) that the Germanic languages evolved from an Indo-European language such as Celtic imposed on a Finnic substrate, but no satisfying proofs yet exist.

		For moribund languages, such as Izhorian, this may be all the hope there is for long-term preservation.

	Suomalais-Ugrilainen Seura
		The relationship between the Finnic languages and the peoples speaking them can be variously described, this being contingent on whether it is the native speakers themselves or the neighbouring Baltic, Germanic or Slavic tribes who are attempting to determine the ethnolingual picture.
		This seems generally to be the case in areas like Ingria where language boundaries are not very sharp and the speakers havealways had close contact with other ethnic groups, or at least have been able to understand their language.
		Finnic ethnonyms usually signify both the speakers of a language and the area inhabited by an ethnic group, although even a superficial analysis will reveal that either the ethnic or the geographic denotation was created by means of derivation or arose from a secondary meaning.

		Into the 19th century there was a most obvious language barrier; then during the 19th century Finland developed a proud University-educated meritocracy that felt as being the true representation of "the people" since they spoke the people's language and since a great deal of their ancestors really had been poor peasants.
		There are two official languages in Finland: Finnish, spoken by 93% of the population, and Swedish, mother tongue for 6% of the population.

	Rainbow
		In other Balto-Finnic languages the rainbow is usually connected with rain: Finnish, Ingrian and Karelian sateenkaari, Izhorian vihmakarDo.
		It is not quite clear if the meaning of the word viker 'multicoloured' is secondary, derived from rainbow or vice versa, but nevertheless it is an unique word referring probably to the colours of rainbow.
		Still, it is possible to find parallels in other languages, where the simile of the rainbow contains limited number of colours, two or even one.

	Database of Balto-Finnic languages —
		The database obtained will be used for scientific purposes (the study of language variety in Russia and language contact) and for the development of methods for language teaching in a bicultural environment.
		This effort to preserve endangered indigenous languages and traditional knowledge is a very urgent task, in particular in the Russian Federation.
		Several of these languages are now well documented and in case the last speaker of a language will be gone, these databases will be very valuable for the study of the cultural heritage of his ethnic group.
