No.

I mean Finnish has plenty of common words loaned from Swedish but the grammar is completely different.

From what I've heard Finnish sounds more like Italian or/and Japanese.
>>
its a finnougric language
much smaller tree than the barbaric cumguzzler known as indoeuropean
>>
Root language of Finnish is so called old-Turkish. Old Turkish isn't spoken today anymore because they died out in Turkey or moved north. This happened long ago, 11th century

blaaablaaa finno-ugrig..blaaa

Finnish sounds like Swedish because like 20% of our words are loaned from them and another 20% is from Russia and another 10% from German.

Only 50% if even that is probably from the Finno-Ugric shamans.

Finnish is an Uralic language, therefore drastically different from the Indo-European Swedish and Norwegian

It's a Uralic language not related to Indo-European since Finns are a recent wave of Eurasian migrants from Siberia.
>>
>>61811411
Proto-Finnic
>>
>>61811898
10,000 years ago isn't what I'd call recent
>>
>>61811411
Those girls look like the archetype of Finnishness
>>
The root language is uralic
Kanty, mansi, permic, mari things like that
>>
>>61811868
What's your point? Finnish, Italian and Japanese has long vowels.

I'm perfectly aware that they're not related in any way.
>>
>>61812740
He was saying that our language sounds "Germanic" because of our Germanic loans which is fucking ridiculous.
>>
>>61811411
ancient sumerian

which is a dialect from alpha centauri, don't know the specifics
>>
>>61812794
How is it ridiculous?

I'f guess that at least 25% of our words are from Swedish and Russian.
