Finnish

Sorry guys but I didn't post for a long time.

Christmas is near and I want to tell you about the language of a cold country. Tomorrow I might post about a hotter place.

The Finnish language is NOT a Germanic language, although Finland shares the border with Sweden and Norway. It is part of the Uralic language family.

Uralic--->Finno-Ugric--->Finnic--->Maybe some division, not sure--->Finnish

THE PHOTO HAS BEEN REMOVED DUE TO COPYRIGHT PURPOSES.

Finnish is along with Estonian, Karelian and others.

I should have thought of a pic earlier.

One language gained my attention: extreme right hand side- Motor!? Is that EVEN A LANGUAGE? Sorry, speakers of Motor.

It's as less as this. Bye!

A New Language

There are lots of languages in the world. And I am adding another one to a list. Right now it's just called _____ (Underscore underscore underscore underscore underscore), so if you can suggest a proper language name in the comments I'll be happy. You'll be shown some words of the language (with the alphabet, of course, I have extra letters and eliminated letters) and will be allowed to add your own! I'll set up a nice target for the language, and I will show you monthly updates of the document. 34/10000 Once I've reached the target, I'll try to translate a Wikipedia page, and if there are any words that are not there in the language, I will increase the target to 11000 (additional 1000 words). You might know that I have shut down the Thinkopedia for a while and will open in June, but what I haven't told you is that I got viewers from Russia. I'm so happy: My dream country (now taking a huge place in the Audiences map) is viewing my blog! See yo...

Esperanto

 I am making a course on Memrise called "Everything you need to know in Esperanto". So what is Esperanto? Well, it's a language. But not ANY language like Spanish or German. It's a constructed language, a language that has been invented by this person or that. Somewhat like Na'vi or Klingon. It was created by L.L Zamenhof.  There are many speakers of Esperanto worldwide, but it's not easy to find one! You can't just go up to anyone on the street and say, "Saluton!".  So is it a waste of time? Not at all! Remember, you are a language learner. If you want to learn, you can learn any language. And you might find some people on the Internet who can speak Esperanto.  The funny thing is, even though it's spoken just anywhere on the planet, it has it's own flag! It's green, with a white square with a green star.
