Dunno. Hungarian is Uralic too, I don't expect it to be too similar to Finnish/ Estonian though (if they are indeed similar)
Edit: Noonius?

I did not know that, thanks man. Indo-european but not specifically part of the germanic languages I suppose. I find these revelations fascinating.

I understand and can read it pretty much perfectly. I, like most Estonians, learned Finnish by watching Finnish tv. I basically grew up with Finnish tv, Writing is a bit iffy because I haven't written in Finnish in years. I can do it, but it takes a bit of time

the language doesn't have to be similar to other languages to be in the same group. It's about the origin of the language and not about the current language

On a side note, the Baltic states seem, at least to me, to be affiliated with their Scandinavian neighbours in the exact order they lie on the Baltic coast: Estonia-Finland, Latvia-Sweden, Lithuania-Denmark. Do you agree?
Cheers!
