Yes, Estonian is the uralic one If you are Estonian, can you then sort of understand Finnish?

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.
They won't, the Latvian guy I was talking about is an ethnic Russian. There are a lot of Russians living in these countries but at least they're independent again, they survived the USSR.

Nobody Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian considers themselves Russian :-) They actually hate Russia very much, as they were for many many years Controlled by Russian army forces ... and due to this, there are many Russians living in these countries ... so the student, you met, was probably a Russian living in a Baltic country.

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 ...
Teller and von Neumann are both Hungarians that fled to the US to work on the atomic bomb and so have lots of youtube videos. The have a very (yes) funny English accent, but it sounds in no way like Finnish accent of English. Check youtube.
Cheers!

Could be that he's very good at preparing build, often we see him do funky stuff.
Or it's just that he cares a lot more about these games.
Or maybe coincident!
