Estonia-Finland link is more or less correct. Latvia and Lithuania are leaning more to Russia actually.

Hungarian is Uralic too, I don't expect it to be too similar to Finnish/ Estonian though (if they are indeed similar) Edit: Noonius? 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 I know, that's why I said Hungarian probably isn't similar to Finnish/ Estonian
From what I've heard, not similar

Thanks gentlemen, I am humbled by this talk and I feel I have learned quite a lot.

What languages do you speak if I may ask, you seem very knowledgeable in linguistics. wikipedia yo! Dutch, English, German, a little French. I can understand a little Swedish, Spanish and Italian I suppose (got Latin at school) and tried to learn Korean for a while for funzies Lithuanian and Latvian are Baltic languages btw (just looked it up! :D) I actually learned that in school. Sometimes coming from the small country has it's advantages. They try to teach you where you come from and not how to spread freedom
I learned some of it in school too but liquipedia is great memory support. I need it more and more :/

Why is this you think, the are not quite part of the same language group as we have established. Is there a strong russian contingent in these small countries?

Russian influence is stronger in those two countries. That goes back ages. Russian is like the unofficial official language

Yes, and they are not really welcome from what I've heard.
I advice you to study european history btw (or history in general really) to understand how these languages geographically spread
