There is quite a huge difference between Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian right? Not even part of the same language group, am I correct?
Yes, Estonian is the uralic one If you are Estonian, can you then sort of understand Finnish? Germanic languages can sometimes "sort-of" understand each other without formal training because of the similarity in sentence structuring and words with a common root. Just curious. 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 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! Estonia-Finland link is more or less correct. Latvia and Lithuania are leaning more to Russia actually. 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? 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 I have a fleeting understanding (for lack of better words) of European history. I am European just to be clear and I have "heard" there are a lot of Russians living in these baltic countries. Do they think of them selves as russians rather than Lithuania's or Latvians (or Estonians for that matter)? Can't speak for all of them but I lived with a Lavian exchange student for a while and he thought of himself as Russian
Ok, but it would be a pity if these small countries lost their cultural heritage just because of russian immigration. I want Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia to remain these small idiosyncratic countries with their own culture.

Going a bit off-topic here

I have no idea how gumiho managed to hide and escape with his bcs 3 times thus far despite bogus specifically trying to find and kill them.

Are we going to see this map mined out?

Gumiho has been playing really well recently, he is really kicking ass over the last month

not Slavic but Uralic. There's a huge difference
There is quite a huge difference between Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian right? Not even part of the same language group, am I correct? Yes, Estonian is the uralic one If you are Estonian, can you then sort of understand Finnish? Germanic languages can sometimes "sort-of" understand each other without formal training because of the similarity in sentence structuring and words with a common root. Just curious. 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? 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 Hungarian / Finnish? Each country has a specific accent, when the people speak English, so after a few sentences, you will be able to say, which country the person is from ... Germans, French, Russians, Czechs ... but you never distinguish between a Hungarian and Finnish person speaking English ,,, their accent is exactly the same ... I am not sure I agree about this. Have you heard Edward Teller or John von Neumann talk english. They don't sound like Finnish speaking English to me  I don't know Edward Teller, neither John von Neumann ... their names sound neither Finnish, nor Hungarian. But the similarity of these two languages is making the accent exactly the same ... their languages are even in the same unique language group - UGROFINNISH (UGRO = Hungarian) ... I believe, there is no other language belonging there ... maybe some central Asia Mongolian kind ...
